Night of the Howling Dogs (2007)
“I slipped out into the night.
The howling had stopped.
Except for the ocean whispering along the rocky shore, Halape was eerily still. Down by the cabin where the paniolos were camped, I saw the glow of a dying fire…and a shadow. Someone was standing in the dark like I was. Had he heard the howling, too? I looked up at the outline of the cliff. No dogs.
But I hadn’t really expected to see them. What I’d heard had been too far away. They couldn’t have gotten here that fast. Unless Masa was right.... If the small white dog really was Pele…then anything was possible.
I rubbed my arms.
This place was really starting to creep me out.
I went back into the shelter and snuggled inside my sleeping bag. I took off my glasses and rubbed my eyes, trying to shake the spooky dogs out of my mind.
Sometime later, the ground under me rolled.
The solid earth turned fluid. It groaned, somewhere far below.
I tore out of my sleeping bag. Struggled into my shorts. Grabbed my bouncing glasses.
I couldn’t stand up.MoreLess
