Moonlight Over Two Pieces of Rebar

For tonight’s tale, we return to the very spot where the solitary thug waited beneath the moonlight for his doom. This was the spot where the hapless thug encountered the ruined beings that removed the very bones from his body while he was still alive. They then left the empty husk of all that was left of him to drown in water not even deep enough to cover the discarded cans and garbage that always seems to accumulate along the river road. Though that event is in the distant past for the surviving villagers, it is relived every night for the parents of the victim of this cruel act of depravity. The mother wastes away in her bed, resolved to lie there as lifeless as her son did at the end of his life. The son’s father, however, stalks the river road in search of the criminals who destroyed his son’s life. His single-minded devotion to his vendetta has claimed every waking moment of his life, which has resulted in his being ostracized by the rest of the village. Yet he has allies in the form of them boys and their crew. Their persistent dedication to shredding the web of terror that binds the river road has attracted the attention of dark entities from beyond. These dark, strange beings have decided to take a stand against the cabal that preys upon the pilgrims of the river road. Tonight is the night that these beings make themselves known to the father of the lost thug. Beneath the moonlight, they declare their allegiance to the father and his undying vendetta. Tonight’s tale contains people dealing with depression, references to violent acts of criminality, antisocial sentiment, profanity, unholy entities, and a father with a single-minded devotion to his vendetta. Listener discretion is advised.
