"There's a man in the woods."

"The man he's-he's a murderer-"
"He's an escaped convict-"
"He's a peeping Tom-"
"He's a demon."

When Rusty Lee sees a man in the woods, curiosity sends her into the dark to follow the man. 

"He's a ghost that haunts the woods-"
"A homeless man-"
"A werewolf."

Into the dark she ran after the man who ran faster. All the secrets she hoped to reveal; all the rumours she hoped to dispel. She was getting excited just thinking about it. 

"He's-he's crazy, I tell you!-"
"My cousins, cousins, best friends, mothers, brother, told him The Man was in the Army-"
"He escaped the looney bin-"
"I watched him kill a man-"
"That man, he's a monster."

All the juicy details only she got to know. If only she realized back then how big of a secret it would be-- how she would have to die to keep it; how she couldn't be with the man she loved because of it-- she would have ran the other way and locked the doors. 

"Because there's a man in the woods, and he's dangerous, didn't you hear?"
