Walk the Sky
“She wore a long white dress that seemed to radiate a preternatural glow in the faint moonlight. Her hands were behind her back, lashed to the post, and a piece of cloth was in her mouth. Her eyes met Clay’s and for an instant he was reminded of just how much she looked like Ellie, how the very first time he saw her he actually thought it was his dead daughter somehow brought back to life. The stirring off in the distance was growing stronger, the demons beginning their forward shuffle. It took Clay only seconds to reach Marilyn—sprinting soundlessly across the dirt—and only another two seconds before he managed to loosen the cloth around her head and took it from her mouth. “Who did this to you?” he said, and immediately felt foolish for asking the question. It was obvious who had done this to her, just as it was obvious the work hadn’t been done by the man alone. But what had been done to this woman—girl, really, Clay thought, maybe a year or two older than Ellie—was more than j...ust being tied to a post to be sacrificed.MoreLess
