Jerry slowed the pickup truck on the unpaved road and made a left turn into a corn field that was recently harvested. The over-sized pickup bucked, like a bronco, over the rough ground, and everyone in the truck tried to keep their seats as best as possible. Jerry gripped the steering wheel tightly, Maddy braced herself with a hand on the dashboard and the...
None of them knew how long they had been on the road. Their eyes glanced level and were fastened upon the road that swept toward them. The road was of the hue of slate, save for the centerline, which was intermittent white. All of them knew the colors of the road.

The sanguine moon reached its zenith and shone its sinister reddish glow down upon the Spanish countryside. Underneath these crimson rays, an isolated town sprawled out in concentric rings around a large hill. Atop this grass covered mound stood a lonely castle, its banners fluttering in the soft breeze. Inside the impressive edifice a young woman named Mar...
She woke up late the next morning, slipped out of bed and tip-toed to the window -- halfway expecting to see that dog down there, waiting for her, but she saw grass and trees -- and no dog -- so she showered and dressed quickly for work. She fixed coffee and toast in the kitchen, looking out the window at his house, then walked out the door and down the stre...
