The Rocking Chair
language
( Oct. 25, 2015)
The house across the road from the Tooms family has been empty and derelict for years. It therefore comes as something of a surprise to young Gerry Tooms to see an old man in a rocking chair in the porch of the house. It is even more of a shock to find out that the old man has messages for him in the headlines of his newspaper that predict future events, some of them dangerous or deadly. These disasters begin to make the townspeople think that the town is cursed.
Gerry soon finds out that the old man has another message for him, one that warns of a malevolent force at work, the same force that caused the old man’s death. He and Gerry must work together to fight the evil ghost and save the town from further misfortune. But Gerry is puzzled. Who is the old man, why must it be Gerry who saves the town, and how on Earth is he going to do it?
