Excerpt from my yet to be written Novel. 'Haunted Hills' By Shamarie Claiborne Luna found the old tree she was hiding against was sufficient enough to catch her breath. She had ended up right beside what was left of an old road, in the heart of what folks in these parts called Hurt Hollers. She had to slow herself and her mind down. Slow deep breaths, she told herself, slow deep breaths. As her breathing slowed, her thoughts become clearer and suddenly she knew she had to make some decisions. As her mind had cleared, she finally smelled the rain in the air and the realization that her body could not take another night unprotected made her already empty stomach, even sicker. Even with the unusually warm weather of late, she knew tonight would be a completely different story. Living in the shadows of the Appalachians had taught her the rain could change that quicker than a squirrel could crack a nut. "Okay, getting my sense of humor back" she thought. As she looked around to find shelter, she spotted what looked like an old abandoned barn. Maybe 100 yards up the hill. Easy enough right? The big problem would be getting their without leaving tracks during the middle of October, in the densest part of Hurts Hollers. Think Luna, think. Her father's soft words came to mind. "Now remember Luna when you tracking something, don't become the one being tracked. Walk softly and slowly, slow as a mouse trying to snatch the cheese from a trap." Well at least now she had a plan. Waiting quietly until dusk was almost gone would be the hardest part. Then she would walk slower than molasses coming out of the jar to the old barn at the top of the ridge. There was even a bright side, she could get out of the woods and follow the side of this road from nowhere she had found. So off she went as slow as molasses, with thoughtful steps, being as quite as a mouse. If she had only known what lay ahead .... - Shamarie This story was posted on 2014-10-30 14:45:52
