Part 2
Journey log
Date: 31 PA. Not only have I seen the figures moving through the shadows, but I’ve heard them, too. Their voices carried on the wind, barely discernable.They’re real, I heard them clearly. My suspicions grow. D I dare to tell the others?
Date: 32 PA. Today, I stayed in the city alone. As I sit here, all is quiet. I have yet to see anything in the shadows, or to hear any sound beyond the frogs and crickets. Maybe I truly was just imagining… Maybe… But, I still can’t shake the feelings. I am not alone here- I’m sure of it.
Author’s Note: So far, I’ve got about 5 parts written… has nothing to do with this week’s picture, though. I hope you enjoy it. It is a chilly morning here in the foothills of the Appalachians. Brrr… Starting just above freezing and will supposedly top out at around 60-65 today. Looking forward to the first Living History event of the year locally this weekend. Packing an umbrella and looking for a pair of galoshes… LOL!

This style is really effective, B. I hope you post more.

Since the narrator’s unease is the author’s hint, I’m inclined to believe them

I’m in Northern Kentucky… I was politely informed when we first moved here that our hills were NOT mountains, only foothills. I’ve been east to the mountains… awesome!

I really enjoyed the style of this chilling story. Nicely done! I’ll read the other parts sometime today. Here in Seville, we hit 101 degrees yesterday. I wish I could send you some warm air. 🙂 Happy weekend!

We’re currently at 62F. A nice comfy temp, and there’s this stange yellow orb in the sky. Not sure what it is, though, but the clouds seem to afraid of it. LOL!

Dear Bear,
You posted the prompt picture and that’s good enough for me. 😉 This piece makes me want to turn the page. Nicely done.
