Old Gods of Appalachia is a horror anthology podcast and therefore may contain material not suitable for all audiences.
So listener discretion is advised.
Forgive me for disturbing you, my friend, but my name is Henrikus Cronin.
And I work for Barrow Mineral Resources.
And I'm afraid I need your help.
Milton kinsman narrowed his eyes at the name.
Cronin.
He looked back at the man who seemed to expect that the name or the fact that he worked for Barra Cole to mean something.
They did not.
The man's face, though.
That was another matter.
The lines and shape of his jaw and forehead tickled something in Milt's memory.
There was an eerie familiarity about this man, like looking at the grandson of a long-past friend and seeing the ghost of their features staring back at you through time.
What can I do for you, sir?
You alright?
You look like you might be sick, and if you are, I'll have to ask you to step back.
I'm an old man, I can't be around sickness.
I pick it up too easy, but I'll help you as best I can.
What happened?
Are you hurt?
No,
no, it is my supervisor, Mr.
Cronin said, turning a gesture back at their sedan.
He has had an accident.
A fall.
We were surveying some land not far from here, and he slipped.
He's hit his head.
Yours was the first house we came to, but I...
thought this property belonged to someone I knew, but
I see now I i was wrong
uh forgive me mr kinsman milton said flatly his eyes measuring the man he was stout but compact
younger than milt by a decade or so and his eyes were dark and at the moment carried a sense of desperation he was quite clearly at sea He had expected to find someone else here, someone who would defer to him or at least know him.
Mr.
Kinsman, then, it is nice to meet you.
Though I wish it were under better circumstances.
He turned and gestured imperiously over his shoulder for Milton to follow.
Again,
that twinge of familiarity tugged at Milton's mind, and with it rose a red flag of warning.
Senses honed in his old life crept out of their coffins and told him that he'd best take care.
Let me get my coat on, he called.
I'm an old man.
I catch cold a lot easier than I used to.
Milton went to the front closet and took out his worn but warm work coat.
He pulled it on, and then he discreetly retrieved the 38 Detective Special Revolver from the top shelf, checked that it was loaded, and tucked it into his jacket pocket.
If this was a scam or a robbery, out-of-town hoodlums trying to hustle an old man, well, they'd get more than they bargained for, but
Milton had a a sinking feeling that something much worse had come to his door.
He stepped onto the porch and tried not to wince.
The waves of pain that had torn through him earlier that evening had left him tender, though he knew the ache would be gone by morning.
The man in the dark suit stood at the foot of the steps and again motioned impatiently for Milton to follow him.
Uh, I ain't no doctor, Milton warned as he maneuvered his way cautiously down the step, the stiff-legged gait of an old-timer who hates being out in the cold.
Closest one of them is Doc Mabry over toward Duffield.
If your man can make it till morning, you can get him there easy enough, but he's older than me, so you won't get him out of bed tonight.
Milton moved with that same careful limp towards the opposite side of the vehicle.
He could see through the window that another man lay still across in the back seat.
Is he conscious?
Milton called to his new companion.
Mr.
Cronin, as he called himself, opened the door on his side.
No, he is not.
Please, Mr.
Kinsman, if you could come get his feet.
If you would be so kind as to let us into your home tonight so we don't have to sleep out in the cold, my employer would be in your debt.
We can reward you handsomely for your trouble.
Milton let his fingers wrap around the gun in his pocket for a long moment,
thinking about the kinds of rewards he'd been offered for helping men in dark suits move bodies in the night.
And then he came around to help Henrikus Cronin pull the body of his supervisor from the back of the car.
Milton took hold of the man's feet as they emerged and they stood there in the yard of the house that he had shared with his Audrey, the unconscious man slung between them, when the feeling overtook him.
Milton had been in this exact exact position before, not on a near-freezing October night in his golden years,
but in the warm twilight of a summer's day in the prime of his life.
The side of a mountain falling around him, fire and death, and torn earth raining down, beings with power he'd never seen before had slaughtered the men he'd brought to that place.
And Milton had helped haul a man who had been his boss out of the danger.
It had been just like this.
It had been the day that Milton Stapleton died
and Milton Kinsman was born.
These old hills call
for the blood of my body
A pound of flesh for a ton of coal
So down I
go
into a dark hell waiting
Where lungs turn black and hearts grow cold
And I'll take to the hills and run from the devil to the dying sun
Something wait
comes
and treads off, my friend, into the shadows where the old ones roam
in those hills we die
alone.
Mr.
Kinsman came the voice of the stranger in the dark overcoat, who was waiting for him to start moving from the car into the house.
What?
Oh, I'm sorry.
My mind wanders.
Let's get your man inside before we all freeze to death.
Damn cold for this time of year.
It took them a minute to get the weight distributed properly and another to get up the steps, but before long
they had the unconscious man who was also dressed in a dark business suit, his a deep emerald green inside, and settled onto the couch near the fire in the front room of the farmhouse.
The man was breathing, so that was good.
Milton couldn't see any evidence of the head wound Cronin had mentioned, however.
So what happened happened to him?
Milton asked.
His age allowed him a certain level of bluntness that most folks would overlook, and he liked that.
Cut through all the bullshit and the small talk and answer an old man's question, would you?
As I was saying outside, we were surveying some land and my supervisor lost his footing and fell whereabouts.
Excuse me?
The surveying you was doing.
Where were you?
A bear, I ain't mine coal around here in 15 years.
Southern Appalachian's been handling the local mine as long as I can remember.
As far as I know, there ain't no other coal to be found out this way.
Milton made his way into the small kitchen and poured himself a cup of coffee from the pot on the stove and poured a cup for his guest as well.
Mr.
Cronin narrowed his eyes at the older man as he followed him to the kitchen door.
Did you work in the mines, Mr.
Kinsman?
I sir, I did.
Twenty years up and down Kentucky and up West Virginia way, done with it now.
Of course, his bones are too old, and I don't care for the noise.
Got this little farm and settled down with my missus.
Quiet out here.
Nobody bothers you.
Milton handed the man the steaming mug of coffee and leaned against the door frame.
Then you should know that coal is not the only thing that Barrow has interest in round these parts.
There are are many other minerals found here that can be quite useful.
The expression sounded foreign coming from this stout man with his clipped accent.
Uh-huh, Milton said, which in the secret language of old men is a polite way of saying, horseshit, but tell me more.
There were tin mines, iron mines, even zinc mines over on Milton cut him off.
Not nowhere near close enough to my house?
Not these days.
Why, if I'm the first house you come to, and you must have been over Copper Ridge, way.
You out there looking for ghosts, Mr.
Cronin?
Ghosts, sir, I don't know what you mean.
Henrikus Cronin stiffened a bit at the mention of ghosts.
Or maybe it was the mention of Copper Ridge.
More instincts from his former life somersaulted their way out of long settled graves, waving even more red flags.
It was a goddang parade in Milton's head now.
Limestone, Henrakis.
You mind if I call you Henry?
Henricus is a mouthful.
There are huge deposits of limestone over on Copper Ridge, Henry.
Way out there where nobody can't seem to keep a house or stand to live.
Their heads don't stay right.
They get sick.
People say they see ghosts walking the ridges out there, and maybe they do, maybe they don't, or maybe it's just the vapors rising off that much limestone.
Please, Mr.
Kinsman, do not call me Henry.
I do not care for it.
My name is Henrikus, sir.
And limestone is a valuable resource as well, but I am not at liberty to discuss company business in such detail.
Uh-huh, Milton said again and sipped his coffee.
The two men stood in comfortable silence for a bit.
Henrikus was halfway through his cooling mug before he said, I should check on my supervisor, see if his condition has changed.
And Milton watched as his new house guest fussed over the man on the couch for a few moments, checking his breathing, straightening the blanket they'd covered him with, fluffing the pillow that Milton had fetched from the linen closet.
The man in the emerald suit did not stir.
So,
Milton began in that tone that elder folk use to let you know they're about to ask something uncomfortable or invasive.
Cronin,
that's a name we don't hear around these parts much.
I am from Pennsylvania.
My mother's people came from.
Worked with some Cronin boys once up in West Virginia.
Around Tourniquet.
Irish Catholic down to their bones, but
your accent.
It's not Irish, no, is it, Mr.
Cronin?
I grew up with my mother.
No, no, you didn't.
See, I thought you were familiar when I first saw you.
Then you said you was with Barra, and well, nothing good ever come out of Barron Lock.
Then it turns out you've been up here poking around copper ridge and there ain't no call to be out there
you and me both know that
excuse me cronin stammered do do i do i know you sir oh i believe you do henry at least that's what i always called you
i believe you and i go way back
only i'm supposed to be dead and you
You were supposed to run, Henry Crane.
You were supposed to run and not go through with the hollow, and you had a family.
I gave you a chance to get out and what?
You threw it away to become one of Bear's lapdogs?
Is that your minder in there on my sofa?
Which one is it?
Dalton, Abner, Amos?
They change faces and bodies often enough.
I can't even be sure which one it is.
Hell, that could be Miss Polly herself inside of that shell for all I know.
What in the hell are you doing away from company land tonight of all nights?
Good lord, boy, did you not get any smarter in all this time?
Henrika's Crane,
for that one was in fact his true name.
No one had called him Henry in years, looked stunned.
He looked hard at the old man, straining to recognize him.
Milton?
Mr.
Stapleton?
Shut your mouth, boy, unless you want that thing in the parlor in there to hear you.
Mr.
Crane shook his head, unable to make his mind accept what he was seeing.
But you...
But you did die.
You burned.
There was nothing left of you to retrieve to take back to Barrow.
You...
you...
Shadows flared in the corner of the room like dark water seeping in through the walls.
The lights of the lamps dimmed.
You left me.
You left me behind.
And...
And...
Henry, stop it!
Milton growled, and his eyes surged with violet fire.
You put a lid on that right now.
You know what tonight is and
a wave of pain shot through both men, driving them to their knees.
Crane fell all the way to his belly, gasping and Milton grunted against the blow, but managed to right himself and stand.
If you reach for your hollowing, it'll reach back and it hurts even more.
The tension in the air gradually abated,
and the lights returned to their usual cheery glow.
The tenebrous masses that had risen in the corners of the room melted back into the shadows.
Milton's eyes were once again their warm chocolate brown behind his glasses.
Why are you even out on the road at all this week?
We always got called in for the zeitgeist so they could strengthen our ties to the company, fill up our tanks, so to speak.
Mr.
Crane panted as he pulled himself back to his feet.
We were on our way back to Barrow House from a site in Tennessee to begin the rights and observations when my supervisor, that's Amos in there, by the way, decided it was worth a detour to Copper Ridge to assess its protections.
He and Dalton still haven't regained Mr.
Barrow's trust after their failure years ago, and they will jump at any opportunity that might help them to do so.
Milton snorted a bitter laugh.
I should think not.
The destruction of valuable resources, humiliation at the hands of a bunch of rock worshipers who don't seem to be affected by our usual gifts, and not least of all, the loss of his chief field general in a horrifying fire?
No, old Mr.
B, you wouldn't forgive that easily.
The only survivors being two worthless minders who aren't even bears by blood and a couple of unhollowed recruits on their final probationary assignment, that would only rub salt in the wound.
He'd have preferred them dead.
They'd probably be better off.
Milton's eyes creased with sadness and frustration.
But why did you stay, Henry?
Why?
Henrikus Crane, hollow man and right-hand to Miss Polly Barrow herself, shook his head sadly.
What recourse did I have, Milton?
I don't know how you've managed to survive what happened on Copper Ridge or how you've managed to survive this way, but I could not return return to my family in disgrace with no job, no way to provide for my mother and sisters.
No, I stayed, and yes, I accepted the hollowing.
You speak as though I was some fresh-faced boy with his whole life ahead of him.
I had nearly as much blood on my hands at that age as you did.
The innocent are never chosen to be hollowed, Milton.
You know that.
And Rika's dabbed at his eyes and took a deep breath.
Amos wanted to go back to Copper Ridge.
So we did.
Or we tried.
The old paths we have marked on our maps are gone.
The men who defied us that day saw to that.
So we stumbled around for two days searching.
I tried to get him in the car.
I told him that Zeiterbus was starting and we could not be in the open when it did.
And he ignored me.
Told me it was my problem.
That the time of penance was a vacation for the Minders.
They go go all out to their company estates in Ohio and drink themselves silly.
He said they barely remember that week at all.
Milton smiled grimly.
They still pick winners for middle management, eh?
Arrogance, pride, and will.
Those are the cornerstones of a good minder, according to Mr.
Conrad.
The fool doesn't realize they let him stay drunk, because if they didn't, the process would tear their mind to shreds.
Their bonds to us are forged in that week of sorrows, but some of them are just too prideful and need to believe that it's their superior will that keeps us in line.
Mr.
Crane rolled his eyes and grimaced as if he had tasted something foul.
So we're out in the weeds near the backside of Wildcat here, looking for a path.
When the first waves of the breaking moon begin.
I am used to the pain.
And the first night is not so bad.
But Amos wailed like someone had torn off his schwans,
fell down the the hill and passed out, frothing at the mouth.
I dragged him to the car and rode out the rest of the pain, and then started driving.
I saw the lights of your place, and well
here we are.
Henry, you can't stay here.
Not for the whole of the week.
You know what will happen by the end.
I manage not to be around anyone when the full term comes.
But if you and I are together and Amos comes into his fullness, I'll either kill you both or he'll take control of me.
And I'd rather the former not happen, but the latter cannot happen.
I will not go back.
I have a life here.
I've filled that hollowed place with something else.
What do you expect me to do, Milton?
We have little choice.
We're all three limited in what we can do right now.
Hell, I bet he's too weak to even command you.
Kill him, Henry.
Kill him and you can go home or go back to Bear or I can't care.
But I will not be their weapon again.
Do you understand me?
Kill him.
I could not kill my minder any more than you could have.
The home office would tear me to pieces, feed me to Mr.
Barrow himself, and hang up my scraps as a warning to others.
You would ask me to end my own life to spare yours.
Milton snorted.
Of course you could.
Do you really believe it doesn't happen?
Minders are killed during the break-in all the time.
Everybody knows it.
It's a dangerous job.
They all know the risks.
Mr.
Crane smiled ruefully and shook his head.
No.
And in any case, you really think you can take me, old boy?
It's been a long time, and I haven't aged in 20 years.
Milton chuffed out a laugh.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
Last time I really lost control, I tore down half a grove of pine trees and bowled a pond of vapor.
They've not gotten anything to grow back out there since, and that was three years ago.
So I like my chances.
But I'd like it even better if it didn't have to come to that, Henry.
Yeah, Henry.
I'd hate to see you and your old buddy here go at it, sneered a voice from the couch.
Amos Nunnelly Barrow.
Rose from the couch, apparently recovered from his head injury or Sponge's injury or whatever had been ailing him.
Well, looky here.
It's mister Stapleton, the fabled one-man army.
You look like shit, son.
Done got old, have you?
Back in the day, we'd set you loose on a town.
It was like a plague of locusts would just shred the place, like something out of Revelations.
People, livestock, buildings, didn't matter.
Old Stapleton here would go right through him, wouldn't you?
Didn't they?
They used to call you locust.
Something like that.
Something biblical?
Mr.
Amos, Henrikus Crane began.
Let me explain.
Amos Nunnelly Barrow wasn't about to let anyone explain anything.
Shut it, Crane.
Boy, are you just screwed?
Miss Polly's pet crowd over here planning the murder of his bettors with a traitor to the family.
I knew we couldn't trust you trying to talk me out of coming out here to find Copper Ridge again.
I bet you knew where your old mentor here was hiding out all along.
You probably put some sort of secret hollow hoodoo on me, brought me out here so he could kill me for you, since you ain't got the stones to try it yourself.
Mr.
Amos, don't be ridiculous.
I told you the Zyder.
Shut up about your Zadie Boosie boy.
That nonsense might keep you animals in the line, but it don't have nothing to do with us powerful folks.
You are right, though.
You can't kill your minder.
It's like Mr.
Conrad says, there must be an order.
The family must control the beasts, and the beasts must hurt.
Oh, shut up, Amos.
Milton's voice cut across the room like a slap.
What'd you say to me, you hauled-out old fart?
I said, shut up.
You're not even really a bear, you milly-mouthed little shit.
Amos, Dunnelly Barrow, was a pale blonde man who took great pride in the power the second part of his hyphenated last name granted him.
At Milton's taunt, his face flushed a shade of apoplectic purple.
You take that back, I am too a bear
by marriage.
Milton laughed.
One of E.P.'s stepsons did the hokey-pokey with your mama, then married her so they could take your family's land when you were 10 years old.
You only got the job because you had a sliver of a gift and a rotten enough heart to do it.
Amos was shaking with rage.
Well, if I'm not a bear, how come I can do this?
He closed his eyes and reached for the power to compel his beast to do his bidding, muttering, Crane,
kill him.
Or at least he tried.
But within the days of the Zat Derbusa,
any use of power gleaned from the hollow resulted in a burst of agonizing pain meant to condition the hollow men and remind them who owned them.
Amos got about halfway through the words before he found himself on the floor, his head ringing like he'd been struck with a frying pan.
His vision swam and the room grew dark.
No, Mr.
Amos,
I don't think I will.
The voice of Henrikus Crane seemed to almost echo from somewhere in the gathering dark.
Crane?
Crane, what are you doing?
If you if you're right about this, you you'll it'll get you too.
Oh,
we beasts of burden can handle a little suffering.
Can we not, Milton?
The room went dark and silent, save for the whimpering of the thin blonde man on the floor.
The seconds ticked by as Amos trembled in this voice, still hurting and tense for a blow.
He nearly screamed when he heard Milton Stapleton's voice, and with it a set of glowing, violet eyes appeared, floating in the darkness.
You were almost right, Amos.
They did give me a nickname from the good book.
But it wasn't locust.
From somewhere across the room, Enricus Crane laughed as another set of eyes appeared before the first, and then another,
and another, and another, and another,
until there were enough of them to illuminate the horde of creatures that crowded the small living room, looming over the angry little man on the ground.
They called me Legion,
for we
are many.
Amos Nunley Berra never even had time to scream.
A week later, Milton Kinsman occupied his usual early evening spot on the back porch of his house reading the local paper.
Which had nothing terribly exciting to report.
The electric company had finally planned to run electricity up to Hoodow Holler and a couple other places between Prince's Flat and Mineral City, much to the relief of residents who'd spent months lobbying the county's board of supervisors to be connected to the power grid.
The previous evening's baseball game between Derby and Mendota had gone to extra innings before Mendota finally pulled it out.
Just another week come and gone in the far reaches of Grant County.
Just the way Milton liked it.
The sound of a car turning into the drive pulled his attention away from the paper and set him hurrying through the house and out the front door.
He stepped onto the opposite porch just in time to see his beloved Audrey climb out of her sister's car.
When her eyes fell on Milton, she ran quick as she could up the steps and into his arms.
And all was right again with Milton Kinsman's world.
If there were, in fact, pearly gates lit by the light of God and his angels, Milton Kinsman knew he'd probably never see them.
And that was just fine.
He had his own heaven
right here.
There is a curse upon my
every waking breath
and
I cannot escape
darling.
Well, hey there, family.
