Ch 4 - Elder Charley And The “Sunshine Band”

  • Summary

  • Elder Charley And The “Sunshine Band”


    “Annie your eyes are so beautiful, I would just love to stare deep into them up close."  Smart as a whip, Annie knew he was being inappropriate. He sounded like the teenage boys at school when they were flirting with the older girls.

    Annie was petrified with terror. Normally quite a chatty girl, she lost all ability to speak at that moment. Something was dreadfully wrong with this man, she didn't trust him.  Annie knew instinctively that he would harm her, so she managed to stay away from him at all times. Annie also learned to avoid his sinister gaze, but she could feel his cold blooded stare on her skin.

    Annie remembered the true story she had been told when she was 8 years old of a beautiful little girl who had been kidnapped, raped and killed.

    Momma Lydia often told her, "Don't talk to strangers or people you don't trust." All of the children living in that vicinity knew the story of Rose Marie Riddle and were admonished by their parents to always be careful when walking to school or outside alone.
