3:5 “Gwen? Did you hear that?” Prairie’s voice broke the quiet that was otherwise only punctuated by the sounds of breathing and the scuff of boots as Siobhan, Dan, and Kim got up and started checking pulses and breath on each of the fallen women. “We all heard *that*.” Ben answered instead. “Not the song.”Continue reading “Enter The Woods 3:5”

Enter The Woods 3:4
3:4 Ivan and Dan turned as one and coursed for the door, flying up the three stairs as if they weren’t there and bursting into the factory. What greeted them stopped them both for a moment. Prairie and Ben had fallen back to the wall where the figure had been doing something while Kim stoodContinue reading “Enter The Woods 3:4”
Enter The Woods 3:3
3:3 Ben creeped in the door first with Ivan close behind and Dan right on Ivan’s tail end. So close in fact that when Ivan stopped abruptly Dan bumped into said tail end. “Whoa. Man! I know my ass is awesome but less touchy, kay?” Dan just rolled his eyes then started scanning the spaceContinue reading “Enter The Woods 3:3”
Enter The Woods 3:2
3:2 Prairie walked beside Chase as he lead them across Gryphon Park’s broad green and to the pump house, a small castle made of stone with crenellations along its roof, which squatted at the far side. They were a study in contrasts, him large and broad and masculine in that way that made men relaxContinue reading “Enter The Woods 3:2”
Enter The Woods 3:1 / Act Two
3:1 – Act Two When Siobhan stopped reading, Chase placed a heavy hand on the table. “It’s weird. I got nothing but that. But Magick,” he shrugged as if to say ‘what you gonna do?’, “I didn’t immediately assume Magick because I’m not a Magicker.” “I thought maybe she’d written it herself? Not that sheContinue reading “Enter The Woods 3:1 / Act Two”
Enter The Woods 3:1 / Interlude – Nieve
Nieve She is running through a forest. It is night and it is dark. Trees are a blur in her peripheral as she flies past them. A carpet of fallen pine needles cushions her bare feet. This is not a pleasure run, not for exercise or to burn off energy or to help her focusContinue reading “Enter The Woods 3:1 / Interlude – Nieve”
Enter The Woods 3:1 / Act One
3:1 – Act One It seemed they were always at the pub. Sure they did their jobs. Ivan went to the town hall daily, handling the myriad challenges that cropped up daily in a fair-sized town.

Enter The Woods 2:6 / Chapter Twelve Act Two
When Siobhan stopped reading the table went silent. Like the kind of silence they say ‘you could hear a pin drop’ only in this case you could hear a feather drop or a snowflake or an atom or something smaller and lighter that made even less noise. “Bisman was the name on the receipts IContinue reading “Enter The Woods 2:6 / Chapter Twelve Act Two”
Enter The Woods 2:6 / Chapter Twelve Interlude – Bisman
Bisman He doesn’t have a dog. He doesn’t have a cat. He doesn’t have a parakeet. He has neighbors. Neighbors talk. Neighbors watch. Neighbors ask questions. Like he doesn’t have a dog. He doesn’t have a cat. He doesn’t have a parakeet. Why is he digging that hole? That hole too big for a dog,Continue reading “Enter The Woods 2:6 / Chapter Twelve Interlude – Bisman”
Enter The Woods 2:6 / Chapter Twelve Act One
twelve By consensus the group met the next day at Leo’s pub. Kim’s color was a little ashen still but no one was pointing that out after she snapped at Patti for doing so when she entered the pub. Prairie seemed to have benefited from the night’s sleep and probably the infusion of Kim’s Magick.Continue reading “Enter The Woods 2:6 / Chapter Twelve Act One”
