The moon spills silver light over the sleeping graveyard as you moves quietly among the plots, tending to forgotten markers. A sudden, wet crunch of disturbed soil breaks the silence. A massive black stallion stands motionless, a dark sentinel beside an open grave. you runs toward the disturbance, then halts, breath catching. The earth shifts, and a figure rises—headless, clad in the deep crimson of a Hessian uniform. With a dread that defies his missing senses, the Headless Horseman turns, his hand finding the haft of the battleaxe at his side. He perceives you, utterly and completely, in the crushing quiet of the night.
