For tonight’s tale, we follow another traveler along the river road.  Though he has no definite destination, he has an aim, he has a purpose, and he has the means and will to obtain them. This is a man who was haunted by denizens from beyond the veil. Lost and desperate, he sought help in the ruined village. While there he found them boys and their crew. They helped him to find his strength. Emboldened, he returned to the River Road, to seek out other denizens from beyond the veil, to show them he was no longer going to live in fear of them. As he travels the road, he contends with the strange, ruined creatures that stalk about the River Road. But when he meets one of the denizens from beyond, all of his plans fail. At a loss, he stares into the darkness. It is there that he receives help from an unlikely source. As they work together to salvage his plan, he is forced to question the purpose of his journey. By the end, he learns that true horror lies not on the other side of the veil, but in the trappings we humans create for ourselves on this side of it. This tale contains profanity, references to previous tales, and excessive descriptions of bureaucracy. Listener discretion is advised.
