Temptation: a Novel
“The Dream Is Never the Same I can see her in the distance.
She’s not coming to me like she used to before I told her once and for all to leave me and my dreams alone.
Yet I can still see Jocelyn sitting on the deck behind her house. Lounging in the sun. She’s wearing sunglasses, so I don’t know if she sees me, but I can see her.
I look up and see dark skies above and wonder how she’s getting sun, but then I realize that she’s miles away. I look down and see the ground drop, as if I’m standing ...at the edge of the Grand Canyon. But this is deeper and wider.
I call out to her, but she doesn’t hear me. I keep trying, but she doesn’t even know I’m here.
“Chris?” a voice calls from behind.
I look behind me and see an old cabin. It looks like a haunted house, worse than the abandoned place Marsh used as his secret hiding place. At one of the windows is a face that I first recognize as Lily. But I look again and see that it’s not Lily but some monster with snakes on her head and holes for her eyes.MoreLess
