Prologue

The Woods, 004 Hours.

It was fall in the village in Old House Woods, Virginia. Yes, there are rumors of ghosts and such, but the only people who see them are the Floridians, and they’re all drunk on orange juice from their “tropical paradise.” Blech. I prefer to walk in the woods in the morning. It calms me.

These are the thoughts of Buck Andrews as he walks into a cloud of mist in the morning. A muffled scream echoes through the forest. Nobody hears. The mist recedes, leaving a body drained of everything. Buck is gone. The first, but not the last.
