Nightwater
Ellis Wren
Amos Whitlock settles estates in Columbus, Ohio, and one of the estates belongs to a saint. Adrian Voss founded the Meridian Institute, cured what everyone said could not be cured, and left his fortune to a young man the family has never met. Then a story reaches Amos: a small man knocking a girl off her bicycle on Fourth Street, paying for the damage with a check in Voss's own hand, and walking on without changing his face. That year Voss grows warmer in public while a stranger in a dark coat watches him from the edge of every room, and a retired judge is beaten to death with a cane bearing Voss's name. What is left is two documents.
Adapted from Robert Louis Stevenson's novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886). Published by TalesReborn.
