The Harvest Cycle
“He pushed on, gritting his teeth as he felt the pain spreading, not caring that it hurt but knowing that he was beginning to slow down, just as he was reaching the beach, just a short sprint from the marina. He chanced a look back over his shoulder. There were at least three dozen of them at his heels. They weren’t winded in the slightest. They were gaining on him. He raced across the sand. There was something up ahead, a body, lying in a muddy paste of earth and blood. It was headless, but it was Abe. Rafe looked toward the marina and saw Erika scrambling up a fence. A creature struck out at her, just below the knees, and her legs came off like broken toothpicks. She fell into the creature’s arms. Then he ran into something, and he found himself unable to move, the burning in his legs spreading up into his gut, ears ringing. He looked down and saw five glassy claws skewering his belly. The creature jerked its fingers free, and Rafe fell into the sand.
