10:27 The first thing Ivan did upon Carrie’s departure was look to the women left on the banquette to determine if Carrie’s disappearance had caused any alarm. Those unengaged continued to eat popcorn, pick at their nails, uncross and recross their legs, stare at the men at the tables across the floor, and basicallyContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.27”

Enter the Woods – 10.26
10:26 Nothing to it but to do it. The slogan from Ivan’s first campaign played through his mind. Hands moving on auto, he straightened his shirt, the worse for paint, then reached for the tie he was not wearing. He looked down at his hand, shook his head, and grinned. When he’d been comingContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.26”
Enter the Woods – 10.25
10:25 Kim walked over to stand a short distance behind Prairie and assessed the state of Dempsey, Ivan, and Prairie’s feet. “Weird.” She squinted at the tiles trapping their feet, then squatted down to stare at the floor. “Hmm.” Ivan twisted at the waist to look where she was staring. “Hmm?” She nodded. “Hmm.” DempseyContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.25”
Enter the Woods – 10.24
10:24 Time in The House seemed to be compressed. Or dilated. Or possibly outside the laws of reality. Whatever the reason most likely at the end of this endeavor they’d exit with very little “real time” passed. Which was great considering they all had lives outside of it and it’s demands on their group.Continue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.24”
Enter the Woods – 10.23
10:23 Patti Patti ducked her head around the curtain’s edge, careful to stay in the shadows so no one could see her. Her eyes tracked the folding chairs she’d helped set out in neat rows that afternoon. She scanned over the rows, looking for the two chairs with “reserved” signs written in her ownContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.23”
Enter the Woods – 10.22
10:22 Gwen looked over at Ivan’s cry. He was standing next to the fountain and it looked like Dan and Abe were lying on the ground. She shouldn’t be able to feel them without touching them but Siobhan’s suggestion that all their Magick was stronger in The House made her reach for them with herContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.22”
Enter the Woods – 10.21
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”
