“There was bayou on both sides of the road, built on a levee. He could smell the bayou, could see the reflection of the moon on the water and hear frogs croaking all around him. A moonbeam penetrated the branches of mangroves hung with drooping Spanish moss that glowed white in the night’s light. Another beam pierced through the canopy and illuminated several turtles resting on a half-submerged branch. They looked like huge brown cabochon star sapphires with the glint of moon on their moist shel...ls. Several hundred yards later, he could see the lights of an oncoming car. It was approaching fast. Boucher jumped from the road, sliding down the embankment. Hunched over, he continued running at the water’s edge. He was running blind—if you could call it running. No illumination from any source filtered down to the muddy waterline, and he sank in sludge above his ankles with each step, laboriously lifting his feet. Then something grabbed his left ankle. It tightened its grip and pulled him down.MoreLess Read More Read Less
