    About this ebook

    The story of The Pied Piper of Hamelin has made the town famous and a festival is underway to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the story. Emiline has taken it upon herself to help tourists find their way around the town when she encounters a man who appears to be lost. Believing him to be an actor hired by the mayor to perform for the festival, she agrees to take him to town hall.

    Soon, however, Emiline makes a discovery about the man, one that fills her with fear. She is taken prisoner and demands she take him to town hall. Unwilling but unable to resist, she does as she is told. Who is this man and why has he come to Hamelin?

    Eric Marcelo

    Eric is from the Philippines, living in Cagayan de Oro City in Mindanao and married with three kids. He is originally from the historic province of Bataan in Luzon and spent the first nine-and-a-half years of his life there.How did Eric get into writing? He joined Toastmasters International back in 2003 and several speech evaluators said that he had a talent for storytelling. Since then, he's won speech contests and learned to conduct seminars and lectures. Storytelling was a big part of this so writing was the natural offshoot.Eric is one of those authors who don't write using one genre. He writes both fiction and non-fiction and also writes in variour genres. This is because Eric is interested in a lot of different things: different tastes in music, different book genres, different sports, different engineering fields, etc. I guess you can say that Eric is...different.

      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      CHAPTER I

      She was walking near the center of town when she saw him. He was wearing the multicolored costume of the actors for the festival. He looked lost, however, as he turned around while walking.

      A visitor. Perhaps he needs to be turned in the right direction, she thought.

      She approached him and tapped him on the arm. The man whirled around and faced her, a suspicious expression filling his face. He seemed to be about thirty years old, five feet seven inches tall, not thin but fit, and had red hair peeking out of his multicolored hat. He had a thin mustache, a goatee, and brown eyes.

      Are you lost? she asked, smiling up at him. Are you here for the festival?

      The man didn't answer immediately, as if weighing his words carefully before speaking. I am somewhat lost, he answered slowly, looking around again before continuing, I've been here before but I can't recognize anything.

      Well, the girl said, part of my job is to help people find their way around our town. Where do you want to go?

      Still, the man kept turning around, I guess I would like to see the mayor.

      The girl's face brightened up even more. Really? I can take you to him, though he might be a little busy today. He usually is during the festival.

      The man turned to look at her again, this time as if considering if he should
