Lights at Chickasaw Point
Brian Longfield is a campground host at Trace State Park in Mississippi. The campground is full of elderly Americans. Many of them have no money, and so they live in old trailers that are falling apart. Brian does his best to repair their old, broken homes, but Brian has his own problems. His beautiful wife is in a nursing home in a town nearby, and each day she slips further away. Then some strange things begin to happen. It begins with mysterious lights at Chickasaw Point, a dark and wooded and mysterious place across the lake. What will Brian find when he goes there one night?

Chapter One
There was a knock on the door Brian Longfield the campground host looked up - photo 4

There was a knock on the door. Brian Longfield, the campground host, looked up from his newspaper. It was 7:30 a.m. Brian was drinking his tea, reading the newspaper, and looking out the window, all at the same time. There was another knock. Hello? Helloooo? came a high voice. Is this the campground host? Are you in there?

Brian got up and opened the trailer door. Outside was an old man, wearing a very old hat. He looked up at Brian in the doorway. His little blue eyes were even smaller behind thick glasses. Yes, said Brian. Im the campground host. Im on after eight this morning. Is there something wrong?

The old man said, Oh. Well, can you come now? Im in Number 23.

Brian didnt say anything. The old man waited.

Then Brian said, Whats the problem, then? He came out of his trailer and shut the door behind him. He came down the stairs. With the old man following him, he walked to the back of his trailer. He had his tools there.

The whole time, the old man talked about the problem he was having with his camper van. He took his hat off. Then he put his hat back on. Then he did the same with his thick glasses. There was something wrong with the lights. They wouldnt turn on. And maybe there was something wrong with the water at Number 23.

Brian listened. Sometimes he said, Uh-huh, to show he was listening. The two men walked to Number 23. It was a beautiful morning to walk through the park. The park had a lake. There were thirty campsites by the lake. Each campsite had a number. Brians trailer was Number 1. This was the campsite for the campground host. Then the numbers went up as you walked west on the campground road. There was Number 2, and then Number 3, and so on. Number 23 was a little far from Brians campsite. But that was OK. Brian liked being a campground host because he liked to walk. He liked lakes and trees. And parks like his park, Trace Park, had a lake, and lots and lots of trees.

Each campsite had electricity and water. If you had a trailer, or a camper van, you could have lights. Some trailers had a sink and shower. And some trailers had a TV and a refrigerator. It was like being in a small home. The best part was that you could sit by a beautiful lake. The park could be quiet. Campers at the park could wake up to the sound of birds.

Brian and the old man got to Number 23. This was a large, expensive trailer. It was older. You could tell it was out in the wind and rain for many years. But at one time, this was one of the best trailers you could buy.

The old man was still talking. He said, I cant turn on the lights at all. They went inside the trailer, and he showed Brian the lights. They were dead.

Brian went back outside and looked at the electricity for Number 23. Then he did a few things. From inside the trailer, the old man called, Oh, the lights are on!

OK, said Brian. What else? Then they checked the water at Number 23. Brian pointed at something and said, I cant repair this. You need to call a trailer repair service.

Oh, said the man. His face fell. Do you know anyone? Someone cheap?

Brian understood that the old man didnt have the money for a trailer repairman to come. There were probably a lot of small things wrong with his trailer. Now it was the big things going wrong. Electricity and water were big things. Brian said, Well, maybe I can try something.

The old man brightened up. He nodded.

Chapter Two
Brian walked back to his trailer It was 930 now The sun was higher up in the - photo 5

Brian walked back to his trailer. It was 9:30 now. The sun was higher up in the sky. It was getting warmer. It was only February in Trace Park. But, Trace Park was just outside of Belden, Mississippi. Mississippi was in the southern U.S. It did get cold in winter. But most of the time it was very warm compared to Minnesota or New York or Indiana. In those states, it snowed. In Mississippi, it rained.

Mr. Felton, the old man in Number 23, kept saying how helpful Brian was. This makes a big difference to me, he said in his high old mans voice.

Brian said, You really need to have a trailer repair service for that. My repair will only last a few days. As long as you understand that.

Mr. Felton nodded. Brian sighed. He was sure he would be at Number 23 again soon.

Brian enjoyed the walk back to Number 1. He enjoyed the lake on his left, and the trailers and camper vans on the right. The Lakeside Campground was not full. There were only about seven campsites being used. It was February. The rangers at Trace Park called February the off season. Their busiest time was June, July, and August when large family groups came to Trace Park to camp.

The campers at the park now were not large family groups. Mostly they were old people. They were quiet. They stayed for a long time. They only had to pay $200 per month to stay at the park during the off season. They got a senior citizen discount. They didnt have to pay extra for electricity or water. So Brian was happy. His job was easy in some ways.

Large family groups in the summer months were sometimes hard on campground hosts. Everyone was on vacation. School was out. If the kids made noise, the campground host had to stop them. Moms and dads did not like that, sometimes.

Summer people also liked to drink. Sometimes that made for trouble. And yes, campground hosts had to speak to the drinkers, too. Sometimes the park rangers had to come. A ranger might tell them, Your kids are watching us, you know. Do you want them to see you drinking and loud like this? That sometimes stopped it.
