The Husher Man

There have always been tales.

Stories passed down from generation to generation.

Tales whispered across the school yards and in the taverns, even shared by the campfire.

Stories dismissed as tall tales, nightmares designed to scare little children into behaving.

Legend says he knows your greatest fears.

They say that he uses your fears against you, makes them a reality.

And that there is one rule you must never break in his presence.

Scream.

Nobody knows for sure what happens if you break this rule.

Because nobody who screamed has ever lived to tell their tale.

They say he wants your soul, but no one knows for sure.

There are, however, a handful of stories, passed down through the generations of alleged survivors.

None ever confirmed.

One such Tale recounts the story of an old women who was visited by the Husher Man when she was a young girl and had managed to survive until sunrise.

She told how when the sun broke in the sky, he simply disappeared.

Did the sunlight cause him to vanish, did he choose to leave, was he ever even there? Nobody knows for sure.

She never told what she went through that night, nor was there ever any proof to that of which she did speak.

Perhaps he really did visit her.

Maybe she did survive his torturous acts.

Possibly she never met the Husher Man at all.

But the stories continue to surface regardless.

The legend continues to last.

The fear is real.

Pray you never have to find out.

Pray you never meet…
