All Mortal Flesh

Words of this nature do not come easy for me, but the time has come for me to put aside my own needs for the sake of others. It is time for me to tell the most heinous tale our land has ever witnessed. For the story that follows, dear reader is one marked with the worst evils ever known to mankind. It may be the worst atrocity to ever plague our land.

Those few who knew of these events with any intimate knowledge have survived in one sense or another by convincing themselves that what they had witnessed was a delusion, a nightmare; provoked by rumors, legends, and myths of deranged minds. All created to frighten men, women, and children for centuries. For how could something so ghastly be based in truth?

I am writing this today so that you, my dear unacquainted friend, shall know the truth. Does not the bible say that the truth shall set you free? I pray that it does so that by the end of my tale, we shall both be free. I, free from the blood that has been spilt, and the feverish nightmares that it brings with it, and that you will not fall prey to the evils that lurk in the darkness.

My story begins a bit more than a year ago. Though that is not the real beginning of this nightmare, for I know with certainty that activities such as the one I am about to tell existed decades before my own descent. No matter how easy it might be for me to embellish the story with a made-up history that my torturous mind could create; I shall not obstruct my own story with such false claims. If you dear reader, are weak in the stomach, I shall ask that you put these pages down. Walk away from this tale before it is too late. For once, you have started there will be no turning back for you.

Their journey would not be easy as the roads between Lancaster and London were at times little more than a furrow between trees. Mr. Barrow was a mere locksmith, and while he was able to provide for his family, a trip of this measure was well out of his financial capacity. He could not afford to hire a coachman after the payment of the carriage, so he took it upon himself to maneuver the horses and carriage through the narrow paths of the countryside. As fate would have it, their holiday was not meant to be, for only a few hours outside of Lancaster, the weather turned upon them. The bone-chilling wind and blinding snow slowed their progress until finally the horses could no longer pull the carriage through the depths of the storm. With the daylight dwindling and the temperature dropping, Mr.
