Carl Delsh is dying. He's lived a long time and he's ready to join his love who went 20 years ago.His granddaughter and great granddaughter sit vigil as his time draws near.In one of his last lucid moments, he tells his granddaughter, Amanda, about the tall man with long white hair who murdered his best friend Lonnie so many years ago.This would be the perfect story to tell late at night, sitting in the woods, surrounded by trees, and the only light comes from the sputtering fire you sit around.You'd be looking over your shoulder, squinting into the darkness.Did something linger in the dark? Is someone peering back at you?You'd be waiting from someone to yell Boo! You'd just want the suspense to end.That's how this story unfolds. Slowly gaining momentum and building in suspense.This is not a ghost story. It's a cautionary tale. And a really creepy one.
