Narration:
In the town of Andernach, Germany, where I lived alongside the river of Rhine...

and began to bring my boat back onto shore. As I was getting off the boat, I hear this yell towards my direction, yelling for me to stop what I was doing...

Narration:
When I saw him, I could only see a man in a dark long robe, and what I could only identify this man as, what appeared to be a monk.

Narration:
The monk yelled to me as I approached, “Hello, Ferry!” was all that I heard. “Here ahoy, Reverend father!” I yelled, “What would you have with me?”

# data[].attributes.body
Narration:  The monk then told me that he was on a mission, that he needed to make his ways across the Rhine to an abandoned building known as “The Devils House.”

Narration as *Transition Music* is playing: “Climb Aboard,” I told him, I then shoved off the bank and began my journey with the monk across the river.

Narration:
It was a very eerie feeling as we ventured across, as he did not speak, and once we reached the shore he had only got off.

Narration:
With no word, no thanks or any kind of gesture, the monk left and left me to think that he should’ve at least payed me his fare or at least bidden me a goodbye.

# data[].attributes.body
Narration:
As I began my journey back across the river, I heard in the distance once again, “Hello, Ferry!” “Here Ahoy!” I yelled, but with fear again, I responded,” What do you want?” I continued to paddle towards the shore as I still can’t see whose calling.

Narration:
As I neared my landing place, standing there were two monks dressed just like my previous passenger. The two monks said to me,” Please ferry us over to the other shore of the river, as we are on a weighty errand.”

Narration:
I then agreed to bring them across, nervously telling them to, “Step in, then.”

# data[].attributes.body
Narration:
We traveled across again, in silence and made the journey through the river of Rhine. Once we reached the destination, the two monks left the boat, far out of my own view as soon as we hit shore.

# data[].attributes.body
Narration:
I mumbled on my own, “If they call that doing good, or acting honestly, to cheat a hardworking poor fellow like me, out of a reward of my own labor, I do not know what bad means, or what it is to act knavishly,” but in the end, I traveled back to my home.

Narration:
But, as I approached the shore once again, I hear, “Hello, Ferry” but I had no interest in responding.

# data[].attributes.body
Narration:
The three monks then again yelled for me, and I struggled to respond, “Here, Ahoy! What do you want?” Then again, the monks wanted the same favor, and told each other to, “Step in. Holy Fathers, Step in, Quick!”

# data[].attributes.body
Narration:
I pushed off of my shore once again and made it to the center of the lake. I decided to confront them there, as there was no chance of escape.

# data[].attributes.body
Narration:
I spoke to them and asked, “What do you mean to give me for my trouble? Nothing for nothing, you know.” They offered me to give me what the monks had in their possession to offer.

# data[].attributes.body
Narration:
(Looking at the narrator)
I asked, “What this was?” and had only received the response of “Nothing.”

Image 12

# data[].attributes.body
Narration:
I began to make my journey back to shore as they only offered their blessings, and I am unable to eat a blessing from these monks.

# data[].attributes.body
Narration:
As I rowed back towards Andernach, the seas began to strengthen and the worse storm I have ever experienced seemed to appear while we were on the water. There was nothing I could do but give up my myself to these monks, and prayed heaven for mercy.

Narration:
As they struck all their might on me and I lay motionless on the bottom of the boat, I hear from the first monk, “Steer your boat aright, friend. If you value your life.”

Narration (As Music is Playing):
I began to row once again with no pay, no thank you and nothing in return for my troubles. I reached my shore once again at Andernach, with no more word from any other monks.

Narration:
I had only heard the rumors from my neighbor that as he came home, he met with a large 3 wheeled black chariot, with the 6 monks that sat upon it.

But what had bothered myself the most was that of the four headless horses that pulled the carriage
