Summary: There are other stories about the old man next door. Response to
100_ghosts week #17 prompt "tilting at windmills." This is a sequel to
"The Writer".
That's not what I heard. I heard the old man next door was a Hunter. He used to hunt monsters. Not some knight on a white horse, tilting at windmills; he used shotguns and incantations to fight creatures of the night, things you only used to see in the movies. Back when haunted houses were a fun way to spend Halloween, and tattoos made a statement other than "keep out!" When nobody had been burned as a witch in centuries. They also say he killed all the great demon lords: Azazel, Lilith, Samuel, but you shouldn't believe everything you hear.
