Enter The Woods 6:6
6:6 “Who wants to go for a swim in rat-infested waters?” Kim added because it had to be said. “That would be a solid not me!” Ben called from the darkness. “And in a dark cave with the potential to drown?” “Wow, you’re really selling this, aren’t you?” Dempsey muttered, wandering over to squat nextContinue reading “Enter The Woods 6:6”
Enter The Woods 6:5
6:5 “That is a tower,” Gwen declared, straddling the ground like it was going to go somewhere and planting her hands on her hips, all Paul Bunyon with Plunger.

Enter The Woods 6:4
6:4 “Well, this is frustrating,” Gwen stood against the wall of Nona’s double-wide, doing her best to remain as invisible as possible. She did not need that woman’s raptor stare focused on her.

Really!” “Leo has made it damned clear to Nona that none of her runnersContinue reading “Enter The Woods 6:3 – Act One”
Enter The Woods 6:2
6:2 When Siobhan, Gwen, and Kim approached the table after dragging themselves out from under the sinks and thoroughly washing their hands and, in Siobhan’s case, their face, they found someone new had joined the group in their absence. “Who are you?” Gwen demanded, all Gwen. The guy slouching next to Dan in Kim’s seatContinue reading “Enter The Woods 6:2”
Enter The Woods 6:1
6:1 There were no answers. It had been four days since Dan and Ben had been unable to apprehend the person or persons who had kidnapped Siobhan.
