THE HEARSE
9) The Offer “Be ready for BlackOne to shape shift at any moment, but don’t show any fear if he does. Right now he’s a demon steed, but he can become a hound of hell in the blink of an eye.” I finally realized it was Fran’s voice and could sense her right behind me. I caught a glimpse of her and...

THE HEARSE
8) Crushed Like a Rag Doll It was a challenge just to walk through the shrouded cemetery without tripping over old grave markers and avoiding the bigger ones. It was only seconds after I entered the graveyard that I realized the place was alive with crows. The barking and baying had ceased, but the...

THE HEARSE 7) "THE HOWLING"
7) "The Howling" “Okay, Sherlock,” I kidded myself, “Where to tonight?” A Police coach came out of the fog almost soundlessly. I waved to the driver. I wasn’t surprised the Chief had extra patrol out. “Need a lift?” The driver kindly called out. “No, thanks. Just out for a quick walk before bed.”...

THE HEARSE 6) "No Tracks"
6) NO TRACKS I contacted our office in Dover with as much detail as I could. I could hear Bessie McDougall on the other end of the blower, gagging as I made my report. “What in the world could have done such a thing, G? A crazed animal of some sort, is my guess, “she spoke in her Scottish brogue....

THE HEARSE 5) AUTOPSY
5) Autopsy Back at the office it was my turn to file the report with Dover, and with London since the crime appeared to have happened there. I closed off the teletype with, “Autopsy findings will follow.” That part always seemed redundant, as if we would overlook such a thing. The driver had taken...

THE HEARSE 4) "The Nice Ones Always Do"
4) The Nice Ones Always Do The Deerbrook Docks had once been much busier with the fishing trade, but few even bothered with the area now. The warehouses were all empty - at least I had been told that - and their white paint was more a dull, peeling gray. Henry volunteered to drive us to the docks,...

The Hearse 3) Murder in the Fog"
3) Murder in the Fog I don’t even remember climbing into bed. That what a late evening walk usually did to me, made it much easier to sleep. Sometimes I would awaken Tricia, but not always.. The insurance brokerage houses of Lords of London was where I called “work”. “Special Cases Division” was...

The Hearse 2) "She's Empty Guv, But Not For Long"
2) EMPTY NOW, GUV, BUT NOT FOR LONG A large black stallion pulling an obscure looking hearse, and coming directly towards me! I had no choice but to scramble over the wooden fence and let myself roll down the hillside. I glanced up quickly, trying to see the driver. All I was able to glimpse was a...

The Hearse - 1) Late Night Walk - (The Story Itself)
1) Late Night Walk I’m a bit of an insomniac, and quite often you’ll find me going for late night walks. Port Eclipse barely qualifies as medium-sized, so a non stop fast walk around its circumference only takes maybe fifteen to twenty minutes. Port Eclipse is greatly eclipsed by ports and towns...
