The Lemon Man

This is a supernatural horror story albeit fiction, nevertheless, it could happen at anytime, anywhere, and to any town. It is about the death of Sorrell McConnell, a Korean War veteran and widower, who after the war, bought a farm with his muster-out-pay to do some farming. He sold fruits and vegetables, but mainly lemons in Centerville Ohio... a small town north of Cincinnati and south of Cleveland Ohio. A big man yet not to bright, kids often found him the center of ridicule. In fact they tormented him time and again, teenagers that is, and would even flatten the tires on his truck, or destroy his market stand altogether out of sheer spite. Sorrell complained to police in Centerville time after time... however they snickered and only provided a warning to the town's teenage adolescents, nothing more. One night a gang of beer drinking, pot smoking teenage kids, not bad kids, pranksters you might call them, decided to be bold and go beyond what they normally had done in the past, whenever they harassed Sorrell McConnell. As a consequence, an unnecessary murder was committed, moreover as vengeance would have it, the forces of evil entered the picture, and all hell broke loose in that small town of 10,000 people.
