Throughout the ages, people sought reassurances that their life choices yielded some sort of reward. Perhaps a paradise for the good, while damning those who strayed. Unfortunately, as a soldier, he had seen things that made him question such beliefs.
Every time I close my eyes, I find myself back there…

While the basement also served as their makeshift studio, today they were here to lick their wounds. They spent a week investigating rumours surrounding an old farmhouse. Local legends supported by historical records confirmed there had been several gruesome murders in the home’s one-hundred-and-fifty-year history. Despite there being thousands of hours of footage, they came back with a big fat goose egg.
Die-hard fans of this genre were patient with them, there were limits. Bealzabook fans were by far the most fickle and they would drop off soon unless their luck improved. Other shows made mountains out of mole-hills, like turning a chair moving an eighth of an inch by itself into the incontrovertible proof of their being life after death. They had to be better than those other shows to draw in an audience.

Tyler envied the host of their show. That man had the charisma of a cult leader and the rugged good looks of a Hollywood actor. That chiselled body, piercing blue eyes and sandy hair were like ambrosia, and his personality was the cherry on top. His swagger alone could have made it far in this world.

From his parent’s point of view, being the frontman of a television show was preferable to a career as a coked-out musician. It was an improvement over following the lead of popular television and starting his own criminal empire. As long as he doesn’t tarnish their good names…

Even the name lacked originality. Seeing as every good name was already copyrighted. How much could the market take when Beowulf’s Bayou Babes had a regular slot on prime time television?
That relegated the Ghoul Hunters to webcasts, podcasts and an o-dark-stupid time slot on community cable. It was a challenge to not feel insulted, when bikini-clad rednecks with a penchant for Ye Olde English poetry drew in the numbers.

“You guys suck!” Yelled a man as Tyler’s van turned a corner.
This was not exactly news to him, at least not from one of the loyal and dedicated fans of their competitors. For them, the Ghoul Hunters were yet another copycat paranormal investigation show that gave everyone a bad name.
