With heart pounding, and panting like a frightened dog John continues to run, from the Fox Howl Farm serial killer that has been on the loose in the state of Indian for over two years, killing nine people to date. John, now so frightened, his legs are beginning to betray him as he falls over sticks and twigs. His mind is racing, his hope is dim, but continues toward the light shining through the thick of the woods. With the smell of rotting filth and the eerie sensation of a hot breath upon his neck he halts with gripping fear. He turns around to face his killer that has a face like!…Then suddenly he hears a voice shout, “John, wake up, you having a nightmare!”

A nice tale of a dark and wicked nature…
