Welcome to season 3, episode 17. I'm your host, Jason Hell, and I'm thrilled you could

join me tonight. Tonight's story, a grim fable from author Michael Whitehouse,

takes us down a dark and lonely road. You know that feeling. The one that creeps up your spine

when driving at night through a frightening place, when you suddenly realize that all that

stands between you and the night are a few inches of car. So, turn on your high beams

and turn up the radio because those who travel the night road are likely to pick up some hitchhikers,

whether they like it or not. You're listening to the standard edition of this program.

Now, allow me to escort you to a place where the sun dies. A nightmare has come to life.

Welcome, listener, to the horror hill. You haven't found the darkness.

The darkness has found you.

He liked to kill animals. It was a game he played during the longer drives.
