It was a STORMY summer evening...
... and DARK clouds filled the sky. The wind HOWLED as flashes of BRILLIANT white light lit the whole town in short, BLINDING bursts.
OSWALD TAJ, age ten, who everyone called ‘Oddy’, was a PECULIAR young boy, sorry — man, (Oddy hated it when people called him a boy).
Now, Oddy thought he was too old for stories — at least regular ones. But Oddy loved BIZARRE tales of ADVENTURE, MYSTERY, and SCARE… like the ones grandpa told.
But Grandpa’s stories weren’t regular, to say the least. Grandpa’s stories were just flat-out STRANGE. The types that were filled with CURIOUS people caught up in even more curious circumstances.
And TONIGHT, Oddy was ready for a new story. With the RAGING tempest outside, he thought it was a perfect night for a SPOOKY tale.
But little did Oddy know, TONIGHT was going to be different… because after this story, things were NEVER going to be the same for him, again!
