8:13 Dan was totally fucked. This was not a phrase that came easily to the usually taciturn man. He prided himself on being resolute. The calm in the storm. The steady hand on the trigger. So, it took a lot for him to say he was totally fucked. He started out calm enough. Cool even.Continue reading “Enter The Woods – 8:13”

Enter The Woods – 8:12
8:12 Patti, Abe, and Dan returned to the center of the maze first. They wandered the circumference of the room, stopping in front of each of the closed windows. Book, bracelet, bird, hard, ribbons. Pausing in front of each, they stared like their focus could help them see past the colored glass. “Did he getContinue reading “Enter The Woods – 8:12”
Enter The Woods – 8:11
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. Every once and a while Dempsey would slant a glance at her which only seemed to encourage her, as every time he did it she’d get more exuberant and loud. 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. Kim, leaning against the stove with the solid safety of the wall behind her and a plate held in front of her was shoveling crepes into her gob and trying not toContinue reading “Enter The Woods – 8:5”
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”
