8:11 For the twentieth time or so, Kim walked a few steps into the maze, straining her senses while retaining her grip on her Magick so it didn’t automatically reach for Air. “I think I hear someone!” Patti heaved a sigh and gently stroked Sass’s head. She’d pulled the mouse out of its house atContinue reading “Enter The Woods – 8:11”

Enter The Woods – 8:10
8:10 “Wow.” Walking into the room at the center of the maze Kim got why Patti immediately exclaimed that as soon as she entered. It was a room. Not a clearing or a garden or anything else like that. The grass from the paths gave way to a sweeping black and white marble floor. TheContinue reading “Enter The Woods – 8:10”
Enter The Woods – 8:9
8:9 Running into the maze, Siobhan nearly smacked into Kim’s back where she stood just inside the entryway. An alchemy light bobbed out of the dark to the right, revealing Ben in its uneven glow. “I say we go left.” Siobhan threw a look back over her shoulder, her gaze going to where those leftContinue reading “Enter The Woods – 8:9”
Enter The Woods – 8:8
8:8 Dropping back around the corner Siobhan and she had barely cleared, Kim flicked her wrist, calling a fireball into existence in the palm of her hand and illuminating the path behind them. Her “damn!” was instinctive, popping out of her subconscious as the creature came ambling down the long path towards them. What approachedContinue reading “Enter The Woods – 8:8”
Enter The Woods – 8:7
8:7 Gwen continued to chant rap her way the length of the walk through the swamp to The House.

Eventually Patti bumped up next toContinue reading “Enter The Woods – 8:7”
Enter The Woods – 8:6
8:6 Ivan, Dan, Gwen and Abe entered Kim’s cabin to a wall of faces directed squarely at the door. Those faces were attached, in the usual manner, to the bodies of their friends who stood in a loose formation with whatever passed for weapons for them held at the ready. Gwen stopped in the doorway,Continue reading “Enter The Woods – 8:6”
Enter The Woods – 8:5
8:5 Forks were being laid down on plates, powdered sugar was being mopped up by licked fingers from the edges, when Ivan returned.

Enter The Woods – 8:4
8:4 Prairie stirred in her chair. “You aren’t going anywhere.” “I feel fine.” She poked a finger at the iv. “Take this out and we can go.” “I think you should stay in bed.” “I think you should try to make me.” Rather being even slightly quailed, Prairie leaned forward and got right in Kim’sContinue reading “Enter The Woods – 8:4”
Enter The Woods – 8:3 – Act Two
8:3 / act two Mostly the room was silent as Siobhan finished reading, each of the group thinking whatever thoughts the story conjured in their mind.

Words like “story”, “disappearances”, and “weird shit” could be heardContinue reading “Enter The Woods – 8:3 – Act Two”
Enter The Woods – 8:3 – Interlude – Gryphon
8:3 / Interlude – Gryphon Gryphon Gryf checks the piece of paper in his hand, looks up at the red brick building in front of him.
