Part 175
The mask was uncomfortable, just a curved piece of rough-hewed wood, really. The mouth opening was a sinister slit that turned her voice into a reedy thread of malcontent, the eye holes, tiny pin points that Felecia had to try and widen on three separate occasions until they allowed her to see well enough to do what she...

Felecia would let the overeager youth batter at her walls long enough and let him into her shack one night or another. Things never lasted too long though. Taryn smoked too much, argued too little, was always quick to anger and then just as quick to retreat behind his mental walls in order to not treat others how he had...

No Better
Felecia didn’t spend much time near the water anymore. She had no fear of meeting the monster out in the waves once again, and what nightmares she had about her relatives returning, half eaten from the sea had come and gone. No, the aversion to the sea had more to do with loss than fear as time went...

Part 172
The old woman’s strength started to falter and that left Felecia with one final decision to make, she could probably just push Nana off of her, she could probably get up and cough and spit and manage to get up and walk, rain soaked back to her shack in the woods.

The monster slipped from its place, slumped over and looking nearly dead as it still hovering for a few moments before it fell from view. Nana didn’t flinch from the sound of Felecia’s scream; she didn’t turn or make a shout or surprised proclamation of her own. Instead, the elderly matriarch of the Conway clan let the mysterious object she...

There was no response from the gazebo and no sudden acknowledgement from the monster still hovering in the night sky either. Felecia whispered the question, barely able to comprehend what was going on and totally incapable of understanding the implications of what she was seeing much less hearing. Her feet took a few more steps and her arms began to...

Part 168
The door at the end of the hallway would lead to a set of narrow stairs Felecia knew well and as she walked down the hall, she did her best not to recollect how her father had led her down this hallway. Fear and apprehension were for the old Felecia, the scared little girl. A woman who has accepted the...
