The Forsaken
“Insects swam in the humid air, their wings humming all around him. A true nightmare had startled Jude awake. He couldn’t shake it. Every time he shut his eyes, Morgan Cross was there ridiculing him, stabbing him, soaking his knuckles in blood.
The mattress Jude slept on lay stiffly beneath his back. His heart drummed. He stared aimlessly at the sharp rock ceiling, and as he did, horrible reflections crawled there. He turned, but the faces found new homes. They seemed to come alive out of th...e stone and the carvings too. He watched the painted symbols inked into the cheap wall surfaces shift and appear as if they were about to evaporate. Skulking pagan idols melted into claws that began taking steps toward him.
