(Yikes, I am sorry that happened to you. I also apologize for post myself so late. I am currently in an area where my internet connection seems to be very poor.)
'Raising Kane' Had always been his nick-name a a youth. As an adult however, most found the name hardly fitting. He found him self reverting to his old ways as the young man fumbled his way though the old rusty gate that led out of the forest path. He grumbled under his breath as he was finally able to push though. Pulling his hoodie up over his head as he edged though the thick under growth, partially to cover his ears from the cool breeze, partially to keep it more on his body than allowing the jungle like foliage from consuming it.
He was new and these parts, and found him self in this position as a result of a bet gone horribly wrong. He had of course heard the legends, all 35 versions that made their way around town. He took them for what he knew them to be. Simply,Just stories. He had moved around plenty in his young life, and knew that most places had their own personal tales. Now he had completed the task before him and was just happy to be done.
He had found nothing unusual other than large tree as he had expected. He sighed loudly finally reaching the parking lot, and his car. An old junky piece of crap, likely should have been condemned years earlier- yet he was thrilled it still had 4 wheels and a working motor. It may not be a Ferrari, but it had gotten him out of several bad situations.
Now however he found himself cursing for about the 50th time this evening, as his car would not start. He stepped out and tinkered around lifting the hood, pretending that he understood anything, before slamming the hood and finally admitting defeat.
He took a deep breath, before beginning the long walk towards town. Tired, aggravated, and truly ready to raise a little hell he hit the city limits practically steaming. As he entered he noticed an odd female with a dog at her feet that he had not recognized. Not that that was really a strange experience as he hardly knew any one here.
