Enter the Woods – 10.3
10:3 Kim snapped her gaze up to stare at Rapunzel. A whole lot of “What the Fuck” surged behind her clenched teeth. She didn’t get to word any of it because before she could just blast the woman with words more firey than any of the creatures she could call on, Siobhan blinked and leanedContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.3”
Enter the Woods – 10.2
10:2 Dead silence followed Rapunzel’s statement and then there was an outburst of sound as everyone tried to talk at once. A wave of emotion burst around the table, threatening to knock Gwen’s hair back. Metaphorically. It really threatened to make her chest explode. She had to scramble to build a second wall around herContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.2”
Enter the Woods – 10.1
10:1 Hello. Yeah, you. Over there. I can feel you lurking. Figured I’d say hi. Gwen brushed her finger over the bridge of her nose and squinted into the far distance. Now, I know, I’m not, she made air-quotes, real and you are. Or am I? Are you? Yeah, welcome to being me. Gwendolyn Joy.Continue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.1”
Enter the Woods – 9:10
9:10 “We have two obvious options. Hold on,” Dempsey blocked a wolf lunge with his shield while striking out with his weapon at a wolf arrowing in from his left. Once the wolves were dealt with for the moment, Dempsey continued. “Two obvious options. One, we split the party with me and someone else tryingContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 9:10”
Enter the Woods – 9:9
9:9 “What are we missing?” Prairie whispered to herself. “That is the question I was waiting for.” She did not expect a response so when a voice, a foreign voice, answered from behind her she spun around with wide eyes and raised fists. Her eyes got wider and her fists lowered as she took inContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 9:9”
Enter the Wood – 9:8
9:8 “Yes, sir, Sir!” echoed from several mouths. Dempsey rolled his eyes, hefted his shield, and stepped back up the path. Prairie quickened her steps to plant herself next to him and sent a reassuring thought to Kirby who walked up the path several feet before taking a ready stance with legs tensed and allContinue reading “Enter the Wood – 9:8”
Enter the Woods – 9:7
9:7 “Follow the story! Stay on the path!” The ghost of Dan’s voice rang in Prairie’s ear as she stared at the line of the woods where he and Abe disappeared. She squinted, focusing her Magick, trying to see if it was more than just the ghost of his voice that lingered but she sawContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 9:7”
Enter the Woods – 9:6
9:6 If this was a movie this would be where the Director would make some artistic choice to switch to a strobe effect or switch the camera angle from face to face to capture the horror or maybe even do a real artistic thing and segue to black and white comic book imagery to distanceContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 9:6”
Enter the Woods – 9:5
9:5 Oof. Ben fell back and rubbed his wrist, eyeballing the giant mirrored ball standing stark against the verdant forest he’d been wandering for who knew how many meros after he stepped off the path in pursuit of Patti. One mikro it was trees, trees, trees, and, oh yeah, trees. Then bam, in the path,Continue reading “Enter the Woods – 9:5”
