  ready to strike. 
  ~~ 
  In the small, sleepy Florida town, 
  there are the ruins of an ancient mill, dreaming 
  under the hot sun, Birdsong trilling 
  from the surrounding pines. 
  It is Karen Sommers' favorite place. 
  The lovely young widow often goes there, with 
  her little boy, to paint and dream. 
  And now she takes her sister to the mill. 
  It is an introduction to horror 
  so profound that you will never be the same again.
