The Old Road

Colt and Harris drove straight to Potter's place he was already home. They pulled up and parked. "Don't tell him I am here examining paranormal events," Colt said.

"Okay, I won't say anything." They got out, and Harris knocked on Fred's door. Fred came to the door.

"Hello Harrison, good to see you."

“Hello Fred, I was hoping you would be back. Is everything okay?”

“Oh, yes, everything is fine, who is your friend?”

"I'm Colt Justice, a pleasure to meet you."

“Well, you boys come on in, let’s have some coffee. I am glad you’re here Harris, we need to talk. I know you thought I ran out on you, but I had business that could not wait.” Colt and Harris stepped in the door and went over and sat down at Fred’s kitchen table. So far, Colt did not sense anything negative, or odd, about Fred. Fred set three cups down on the table and a pot of coffee. He poured them each a cup. “Harrison, I know that damn letter shook you up. Well, it shook me up too. If the letter was all there was, I would not worry, but I been down in that hollow, and you don't want to be there. I loaded up some of those old crates. I planned to have them auctioned off. We found stuff I would not have dreamed of, including a flamethrower and a cannon. The other stuff included a replacement hoist for that shaft, mining tools, and some dynamite. We are lucky you did not have that dozer on top of that.”

"Mr. Potter, was the letter the first time you heard of a silver mine on your property?"

“You can call me Fred, Colt. No, I heard stories as soon as I moved here. I had not been here long before I ventured down in that hollow. They all say it's cursed and there is something down there in a pit. The pit used to be a pond. They say it devours any man or beast that crosses its path.”

“Fred, I have psychic abilities. I am a paranormal investigator. I am here to help Harris and his family.”

Fred grinned, “Well, I’ve been trying to figure out how to tell Harris that I visited a psychic as well. I took some of the stuff out of one of the crates and found some pictures and belongings of the Adderley’s. This woman told me until someone kills that beast, the woods would always be dark. She said they were dark before it ever happened, and that evil took over that creature.”

“That sounds almost exactly like what Miss Toppings told us,” said Harris.

"Miss Toppings? Harris, I did not know she was still living. She has to be up in years."

“I am not sure she was living, Fred,” said Colt.

“Boys, what I know is whoever goes around the Adderley’s old place, or down around those dark woods, you never hear from again. I am thinking of selling this place and moving to Florida. You interested Harrison?”

“Fred, I don’t have any money, except what work I have done for you.
