THE HORROR AT LAKE HARMONY: HORROR SHORT STORY, PART III

This story was published by Necrology Shorts in January 2010.

                      THE HORROR AT LAKE HARMONY

The story began: there is a legend among the local natives of a group of men they called The Ancients.  The Ancients were given this name because, when the first Lenape natives entered the land that would one day become Pennsylvania, The Ancients already inhabited one of the many caves in the area.  No one knew their tribe or where they came from, and The Ancients offered no information.  They were wise old men possessing strange powers.   There were four, all men. 

 The natives avoided their company out of fear and respect.  They observed that The Ancients would age considerably over a four-year course.  They noticed another curious aspect of their appearance: as they aged their eyes would redden.  The Ancients’ eyes reddened to a point at which they would glow.  As the visage of their age increased so, did the glow of their eyes, when a curious event would occur.   Four members of the Lenape tribe would go missing.  Coincidentally, The Ancients, suddenly shed the mantle of approaching death; their faces now appeared almost youthful.
