The Great Divide
“Which was why it took him a moment to realize there was a strange little camper parked alongside his garage. The camper was one of the humped sort made back in the fifties, a little metal mole pulled by what appeared to be a vintage Chevrolet painted with rust and years of grime. He and Darren exchanged a questioning look, then climbed from the Jeep.
A man as strange as the vehicles was found crouched in a corner of Marcus’ front veranda. The porch light cast him as a mummy who muttered and fli...ttered about, rising now to inspect the framework around Marcus’ front door. He was of an indeterminate age, certainly over fifty, yet whether also over a hundred it was impossible to say. His skin was stretched tight over a hairless skull, his eyes black as coal, his mouth mobile, and his speech angrily musical. He glanced up at the sound of their approach, then returned to his grumbling inspection of the side window.
Marcus climbed the front steps and asked, “Can I help you?”
