Wolf River - Chapter 7
The morning brought with it a fleeting memory of despair and pain. Faint grey light leaked in through the interwoven branches that made up the walls of the shelter. The air was cold and smelled of dampness and pines. Frost whitened edges of the...
Wild Rose Country - Chapter 12

The Gift of a Stranger - Chapter 7
The stench of vomit and urine was strong in the narrow confines of the alley and Annayah did her best to not breathe in too deeply. The metallic tang of blood was everywhere but there was something else too, and the scent of it was like a dark shadow...
