Modern Folklore

Four years ago, Hugh Campbell was newly dumped and single again for the first time in years. He called on his longtime friend Bobby for help moving. That was the last time Bobby saw him...

Unless you count the Black Metal show where a woman with long, dark hair was leading him out of the bar...

A woman who looked like the one Bobby saw outside Hugh's building the morning after moving day...

Inferring what he can from a few off-kilter text messages from Hugh, about a nighttime assailant in the new apartment who also has long, dark hair, Bobby reconstructs Hugh's week of suffering.

He appeals to horror stories for an explanation, but he knows... What scares us most is what's already inside.
