10:13 Abe took the vanguard and Siobhan and Patti fell in behind them. Pressing their backs together so they formed a small circle, they moved across the dark expanse of the center of the room. Abe could hear the other two groups forming up and moving in other directions. “Dan?” Abe yelled. Dan’s voiceContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.13”

Enter the Woods – 10.12
10:12 Kim clapped her hands together. “Next?” Abe shook off the sense of wonder left in the wake of the air woman and shifted to look at the space between Gwen and Siobhan. “Knight?” “Or,” Kim looked in the direction Abe did. “Sitting lady is one up from that but we aren’t sure what orContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.12”
Enter the Woods – 10.11
10:11 Abe looked down the side of the gallery they were on. “Is it better to keep moving around on the left or go back to front?” Dan turned to look over his shoulder at the right side. “Start from the back, eliminating each canvas before moving forward. If our goal is at the endContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.11”
Enter the Woods – 10.10
10:10 Abe leaned forward, stepped into the gap, then lifted their knee to step over the bench so they could get in close to the canvas. The image in the painting was a room with a chair next to a small table on which a bowl of fruit sat with a pair of foldedContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.10”
Enter the Woods – 10.9
10:9 Abe blinked as they stepped out of the screechy room door into not-the-hall. Because it was not the hall. No cobbled stone floors. No rock block walls. No chandeliers with light pooling beneath them. In fact very little light at all. Which made it hard to get a good visual read on the space.Continue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.9”
Enter the Wood – 10.8
10:8 Kim shifted to look to where Siobhan and Gwen were leaning drunkenly against each other, arms loose around each other’s shoulders to keep themselves upright. She looked at Patti, looked back at the other two women, then once more at Patti before making a sweeping gesture towards the other two to indicate her intentions. Continue reading “Enter the Wood – 10.8”
Enter the Wood – 10.7
10:7 Patti grabbed Sass’ house from her belt and pulled it up so she could look in the window. Sass lay curled in a tight ball on the floor of the house. Taking a quick cleansing breath even as one of her eyes went blind, Patti sang, “Sass!” Sass lifted its head and warbled aContinue reading “Enter the Wood – 10.7”
Enter the Woods – 10.6
10:6 From where Patti stood next to the door she had a clear view of Ben entering the room the open door revealed. His foot barely cleared the threshold before a cacophonous screech blasted the space. It felt like it blew Patti’s hair back from her face where she stood outside the room. She couldn’tContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.6”
Enter the Woods – 10.5
10:5 Siobhan paused with her hand on the gate leading into the front garden of The House. They’d made quick time arriving there. None of them felt the urge to linger. But that meant they’d failed to discuss their thoughts about what they might face in The House. The geranium growing against the interior ofContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.5”
Enter the Woods – 10.4
10:4 “Okay.” Siobhan curled her lips over her teeth, drew a deep breath, then carefully replaced the last page of paper on the neat pile in front of her. All was silent for long mikros as the group contemplated the ramifications of the story. Or rather its appearance in the hands of Jack. Eventually DanContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.4”
