The Curse of The Manitou

A Friday the 13th Story

By: Stephen B King

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Bob Harford thinks it’s his lucky day when he discovers his estranged Grandfather has left him a luxury cabin on the banks of Lake Manitou. Miriam, Bob’s wife, doesn’t agree. She believes if it’s any kind of luck, it must be bad because inherited wealth always comes at a cost.

Bob discovers his grandfather died in mysterious circumstances, as his previous generations had, going back to Colonel Ramsay Harford of the 7th Cavalry. He led a massacre against a Shawnee Native Indian village, murdering the women and children. The sole survivor invoked The Manitou of the Lake, cursing the Harford family and all future generations.

Bob convinces Miriam to visit the lakehouse, and with their two children, they head toward a confrontation with The Manitou, who will not rest until the last of the Harfords are dead.

Good short story

I enjoyed the story. It lost emotion by computer narration. How hard is it to get a voice actor?
