Road Man
Road Man was the only thing anyone ever knew them by, nobody even knew for sure it was a man to begin with, always draped by their heavy cloak and concealed behind a face mask. For nearly 40 years Road Man had traveled the well trodden paths of the world, never crossing country, even if the path was shorter, some liked to joke you could set your watch to his preferred path and that the minute people stopped seeing Road Man coming down the road was the instant they knew the world was no longer safe. Many wondered what happened under that cloak, what was their purpose? Who were they? Why have they never strayed from the path? “Not walking into that tall grass, ticks live in that stuff” Road Man grumbled under their breath, once again, nobody heard.
