Foreword:
About a century ago, in the quiet & quaint town of Millville, rumors of
missing people were heard all over. The people who witnessed the kidnapping
described the kidnappers as "strange, shady people who walked hunched
over". No one actually saw them for longer than a few seconds, so this
description was not very helpful. After about a week, 13 children were
abducted and no one knew who or whom was taking their children. So they
held a town meeting. There they decided to go out into the woods and search
for the so-called kidnappers, that night. And so they did, with torches and
plenty of weapons, they stormed into the woods; ready to kill whoever took
their children. They wandered around all night until they noticed their
group was missing a few people. Not paying attention to where they were
going, they tried to trace their steps. But found nothing. Some people
ran back home due to fear and their cowardliness. The group dwindled down
to two or three men and they also became very scared. They saw dark and
mysterious creatures lurking everywhere, heard wolves howling close by, and
a storm was approaching. So they turned around and decided to go back
home. [Back in Millville] The parents that returned waited for the other
three. But they did not return. No one every saw them again, and no one
knew what happened to them. The kidnapping stopped after that and no one
heard of the kidnappers anymore.
