April: A Short Thriller

By K.R Jones

Every ten years, on April 1st, the village of Eldermoor follows the same rules:

Lock the doors.Turn out the lights.Do not leave your house.And whatever you hear outside... Do not answer

For generations, the villagers have obeyed without question, because they know what happens when someone makes a mistake . . . someone will disappear.

More than thirty years ago, 11-year-old David Harker vanished without a trace.

As April Hale turns forty, the cursed night returns, bringing whispers in the dark, footsteps in the empty streets, and a presence that walks patiently through the sleeping village, calling their names one by one.
April remembers very little about her birthdays. But every time the storm comes, someone is taken. And the only clue left behind is mud on her feet.

And the villagers of Eldermoor fear one terrible possibility:

The thing that walks the streets on April 1st might be her . . .
