The Endless

** The Endless** We caught the scent on the air, and knew our doom had arrived. The land was ripe and the waters deep, the air sweet and my eye had been upon a lovely member of the clan who had just come into her spring, when the scent caught me....

The Willowfield: Rapid Engagement

It was dark when I woke up. Dark, a pre-dawn shadow over everything, and only the faint glow of my wall monitor gave any sense of where I was. The time was early - barely four in the morning - and the minute hands clicked slowly away. A slow...
