10:7 Patti grabbed Sass’ house from her belt and pulled it up so she could look in the window. Sass lay curled in a tight ball on the floor of the house. Taking a quick cleansing breath even as one of her eyes went blind, Patti sang, “Sass!” Sass lifted its head and warbled aContinue reading “Enter the Wood – 10.7”

Enter the Woods – 10.6
10:6 From where Patti stood next to the door she had a clear view of Ben entering the room the open door revealed. His foot barely cleared the threshold before a cacophonous screech blasted the space. It felt like it blew Patti’s hair back from her face where she stood outside the room. She couldn’tContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.6”
Enter the Woods – 10.5
10:5 Siobhan paused with her hand on the gate leading into the front garden of The House. They’d made quick time arriving there. None of them felt the urge to linger. But that meant they’d failed to discuss their thoughts about what they might face in The House. The geranium growing against the interior ofContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.5”
Enter the Woods – 10.4
10:4 “Okay.” Siobhan curled her lips over her teeth, drew a deep breath, then carefully replaced the last page of paper on the neat pile in front of her. All was silent for long mikros as the group contemplated the ramifications of the story. Or rather its appearance in the hands of Jack. Eventually DanContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.4”
Enter the Woods – 10 – Interlude: Grace
Interlude – Grace Grace Okay. This was still salvageable Grace thinks as she ducks out of the thrumming rain and into the large entryway of the gatehouse at the end of the drive leading up to the Boniface estate. She glowers at her umbrella, turned inside out and quite useless, and suppresses an unladylike response.Continue reading “Enter the Woods – 10 – Interlude: Grace”
Enter the Woods – 10.3
10:3 Kim snapped her gaze up to stare at Rapunzel. A whole lot of “What the Fuck” surged behind her clenched teeth. She didn’t get to word any of it because before she could just blast the woman with words more firey than any of the creatures she could call on, Siobhan blinked and leanedContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.3”
Enter the Woods – 10.2
10:2 Dead silence followed Rapunzel’s statement and then there was an outburst of sound as everyone tried to talk at once. A wave of emotion burst around the table, threatening to knock Gwen’s hair back. Metaphorically. It really threatened to make her chest explode. She had to scramble to build a second wall around herContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.2”
Enter The Woods – 8:24
8:24 While Gwen was ministering to Patti, Ben slid along the bookshelves and approached Prairie. He shifted his gaze from her to Kerberos. “Can you get him to follow commands?” “He really isn’t that kind of dog.” The look Kerberos gave Ben from his center head, steady with a bit of lip curl to displayContinue reading “Enter The Woods – 8:24”
Enter The Woods – 8:23
8:23 “We need help!” Ivan lunged forward as Prairie came tumbling out of the window. He made it across the floor in time to steady her when she stumbled slightly on the tiles. She tossed up her head, flipping her hair out of her eyes, a thanks freezing on her lips as she saw whoContinue reading “Enter The Woods – 8:23”
Enter The Woods – 8:22
8:22 Up or down? Dan paused on the first stair leading up to the third floor terrace and considered his options. There’d been no books on the floor leading up to the stair. Up made the most sense. Cerberus came from this direction. Plus, if he wanted to go down he’d have to backtrack passedContinue reading “Enter The Woods – 8:22”
