Description
Four Stories: Werld's War, Old Henry, Vinyl Siding, and Restless.
Werld's War
The morning sun flit across Werld's wrinkled face and he paused a moment to bask in this light as he tapped fresh tobacco into his clay pipe. He watched a boy and girl kick a bright red ball to one another as they passed, a tiny brown dog following and yapping excitedly at their heels.
"The deity is coming!" a voice called out. "The deity is coming!"
Old Henry
"If ever you are in strife, if you fear for your life; you need only call my name, and I will come running post haste."
Henry Jackson and Henry Mills, the best of friends despite a span of some sixty years between them, find themselves pitched together in a terrifying adventure. From a small town in upstate New York in the 1960s, to a boyhood dare at the turn of the century in a collapsing barn, and in the trenches of a war-torn France during the First World War, a mysterious force bonds these unlikely companions. The faceless entity known, as Adolphus, is always there in a time of need, until the day comes when it is time to pay what is due.
Vinyl Siding
"My dearest Gabe,
If you are reading this, then I am no longer around. I am writing this letter on the 30th anniversary of your disappearance. You don't need any forgiveness from me because I know you have done nothing that needs to be forgiven. I have told Danielle and many others there was a reason for your sudden disappearance that was beyond all of us. I have always used that word - disappearance - in describing you missing from our lives. There has not been one day, not one single moment when I ever thought you left us of your own free will.
Restless
The door creaked when he opened it, showering the cracked pavement with a powder of red-orange rust. He forced it shut and made his way to the front entrance of the building. The lobby was dirty, the matted industrial gray carpet benefit of a vacuuming in probably upwards of a week. He went past a tall overflowing garbage can to the left of the door and a fake potted fern at his right and strode to the front desk.
"Howdy, stranger."
