Have you met the Red Eyed Man?
He slithers about collecting all that he can.
He steals all that you love and leaving you alone with nothing.
If you do bad then he will come for you
If you do good he will do nothing to you
But if you hold to many secrets, he will shove his hand down your throat and let your heart tell them all.
These are the stories that were passed down from each generation to the next.
These wives tales were nothing but simple fables.

"Come back early!" My mother yelled as I walked out the door, "Or else the Red Eyed Man will come for you!!"
"Yeah yeah yeah." I waved her off as I continued to walk down the path and on to the side walk, "Crazy bat."
I pulled out a cigarette and just put it to my mouth. I never lite these things. It was just for decoration anyways. It was always for decoration. The walk was relatively quiet, as I went passed the high school with people gathering. I walked passed the burnt down house, and jumped the fencing to the woods. My friends were waiting at the playground anyways. I could hear the sound of a swing going back and forth, as rusted metal just creaked. I saw the youngest sitting there by herself.
Antonia was only in grade 6, but for a deaf kid she had a lot of freedom. She wore a faded school uniform, blue jacket, and hair in a pony tail, but wore no shoes. The only thing that covered her feet was one tube sock, and the other she somehow lost. Kicking the metal pole, she turned to face me with faded rose eyes and smiled.
"Where you been?" She asked
I signed to her, 'House arrest by mommy dearest.'
She stuck out her tongue and made a sour face, "Missed Dc. Been boring without everyone."
'I bet it has.' I smiled as I sat beside her in the opposite seat'I , 'Where is everyone?'
'Floppy is at school, Dark is in the woods collecting something, and Jackie is at bible study.' She sighed, 'Boring. Morning.'
I smiled as I watched her sign something to herself. Signing something that was only understood by her and for her.
I began to whistle as I felt the crisp autumn air gentle hit my face. Being late September, it was really nice this time of year in our little town.
"Been a weird time here in little Heln, Oregon." A smooth voice invaded my thoughts
I opened my eyes and saw a man standing by the side of the slide. He wore a coal black coat, suit, shoes, and a red tie. The hat he wore was also black but had a red band. He stood standing sideways, holding a cane, and smoking an old fashioned pipe.
