With an arm out front as a shield, Jack pressed
through the unnatural pitch-black, swiping back the grasping monsters. Up
ahead, there was a change in the darkness, a lightening of sorts. The
nightmarish dread clung to him as he fought to reach the break ahead.
And then he was through.
All around him was a world of twilight. Gone was
the crisp autumn air of Glen Eden. Instead, the air weighed on his body, thick
like that of a humid summer day.
"Harper?" he called out as he scanned the
half-light of the night.
It appeared to be evening, dusk, or just after.
Nervously, he walked forward, stumbling a little as
his sneakers caught on the flat stone platform in front of the shadowed wall he
had just come through. At the end of the platform, there was a set of steps
that led down into a grassy glade that was surrounded by a thick hedge of tall
shrubs. Two great shadowy figures flanked the steps like ghostly statues of
some ancient cemetery. He could not see their faces, for they were turned away
from the wall.
"Harper? Are you there?" he called out
again.
When no one answered, he crept forward and down the
steps, eyeing the stone statues as he passed between them. The air became heavier,
making him nervous, but he kept going.
