There is a certain road neat the Everglades in Florida, which, if you drive down it alone in the rain, day or night, you will suddenly have a very real feeling of being completely lost. Your radio will turn to static, your CD's will skip and your tapes will play slower than normal. If you try to find a map in your car, it will have mysteriously vanished. If you continue forward down the road more than a minute, you will find that you can't turn around and everything behind you is pitch dark. There are no other roads and no other cars. Continuing down the the road you will come upon a fork with no signpost. In the middle of the fork, there will be a man covered head to food in various pieces of clothing. The onlu skin visible will be around his eyes, which will be bright green. You must get out of your car, but do not turn it off or closed the door after you. You must approach the man, but stop at least three feet away. You must stand there silently, waiting for him to speak first, if you break the silence first, you will find yourself back on a main road, but you will die within 24 hours. If he speak first, he will ask you what you require. Tell him that you need to know which road will take you to your destination. He will then ask you what you will offer him in exchange for his assistance.
If you offer him a ride, he and your car will disappear, and you will become the new guardian of the crossroads. If you offer him umbrella, he will take it and stab you through the chest. If you offer him your love, he will take your heart still beating from your chest and eat it., condemning you to walk to the earth without a heart, insane from the pain and loss. You must offer him your loyalty and kneel before him. If you do this, he will close his eyes and bow in return, extending his hand to whichever path will lead you back to safety. If you try to run from him, you will be dead before you reached your car, and your body will be found back in your car in some random location.
