Chapter I Volume I

The wind wailed longingly as it gripped tightly onto the graves not wanting to let the dead depart. The lightning struck across the sky sending a bright silver arc splitting the sky in half. Moss and lichen covered the engravings of the long dead and forgotten. The old grave stones made sinister creaking noises as if they were going to topple over.

Frightened, shocked, confused the creature woke up and stared at his surroundings.  The creature, which had moments before had been lifeless, let out a blood curdling scream.
