10:21 Silence followed Siobhan’s word explosion. Why she’d thought they’d miraculously be given cheats or a lifeline, she just didn’t know. Manic energy making her veins itch and frantic heartbeats loud enough to drown out her thoughts made for a real lack of sense! Her jaw was hurting from clenching. Afraid her teeth mightContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.21”

Enter the Woods – 10.20
10:20 The familiarity of the layout in the sixth garden felt like a letdown. Like there should be something different. Even if it was a giant minotaur trying to take their head off – though what Perfect Bride test a giant minotaur would fulfill Siobhan had no clue. But instead all they had wasContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.20”
Enter the Woods – 10.19
10:19 “Give me a moment?” Siobhan pointed at her bare feet. “I need to put my boots on.” That was a great excuse to hang back. And she did need to put on her boots. But really, Siobhan needed a mero or two to sit in her own self. While she mindlessly pulled a sockContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.19”
Enter the Woods – 10.18
10:18 “Fine, one story,” Dempsey rumbled down at Gwen as they walked through the tearoom door, Dempsey walking forward while Gwen walked backwards so she could look at him while raising imploring hands, pressed palm to palm, to him. “Once it’s safe.” Gwen heaved a dramatic sigh. “Fine, Dad. Once it’s safe. But itContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.18”
Enter the Woods – 10.17
10:17 There was no time to consider any other action as the tartlet zoomed right for Dempsey’s face. So, he opened his mouth and braced for impact. The tartlet hit his lips. Hoping to absorb some of the impact, he drew his head back at an awkward angle while carefully clamping his mouth closedContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.17”
Enter the Woods – 10.16
10:16 Siobhan pointed her finger, sketching paths between the islands. Then she did it again. And again. Kim followed the movements, trying to figure out the logistics herself. Turning as carefully as possible so she faced the door instead of the stove, she called out to Ivan, Dempsey, and Dan framed in the doorway.Continue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.16”
Enter the Woods – 10.15
10:15 Ben’s head was, in fact, in the wall. In a hole in the wall. And as Kim and Gwen pulled up close to him he tried to wedge his shoulder into the small hole. He kneeled on a raised structure. Not a table. More like a lunch counter with a protruding top partContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.15”
Enter the Woods – 10.14
10:14 What did they say about hope? Besides it sprang eternal? Or from Dan’s knuckles? Something about it being, in reality, the worst of all evils? Because it prolongs the torments of man? Thanks Neitzsche, Kim thought as she kicked the floor that was not cobbled stone with the tip of her toe. TheContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.14”
Enter the Woods – 10.13
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”
