Shadow Season (2009)
“Harley Moon shouts at him to stop, but Finn opens the shed door and heads back into the storm. She yells that she can’t follow him, she screams that he’s a lunatic. He understands.
It’s all right, he knows where he is now. No way he can miss the Carriage House.
Ice and wind attack once more as he staggers through the drifts. He buries his hands inside Roz’s pockets. The coat is too small to zip closed, and the snow stings his chest and throat. It doesn’t hurt much this time and can’t slow him down at all. He plods and inches along, practically stuck in place.
The wind chimes in front of the dining hall can barely be heard above the howling wind, but they’re there at the edge of his hearing. He’s trained to hear them. He isn’t going to fall down this time. He won’t fail again.
An easy thirty-second walk takes him five hard-fought minutes. He’s beginning to freeze once more as he blunders against the Carriage House doors. They’re stuck and he has to throw himself against them and pound ...with his fists before he can yank them free.MoreLess
