Some things in our stories show up more than once. A polite man who asks the time. An exit that is not on any map. A name in pencil under yours in a trail register. These are the QuietDread Legends: recurring characters and places, each with their own rules, told by different people in different states who have never met.
Every legend has its own page with its rules and every story about it, oldest first. Each story stands on its own, so you can start anywhere.
Mr. Quarter Past
A polite man in a gray suit asks you the time. Never tell him.
1 story- Exit 13½
A green exit sign that only shows up when you are too tired to drive.
Coming soon - The Pencil Hiker
A line in pencil under your name in the trail register. Cross it out before you leave.
Coming soon - The Exact Change Man
He comes in at 3:10 a.m., buys one thing, and pays in coins that are all from the same year.
Coming soon - Halden's Ferry
A small Ohio River town. The ferry stopped running in 1958. Some nights the bell still rings.
