She dropped her towel and hurriedly grabbed at her clothes, deciding it was best to get dressed and go as quickly as possible. She watched aghast as the prints slowly dissipated before her eyes with the heat of the sun. They were massive, and clawed, and made every fine hair on her already goose-bumped flesh stand on end. As she approached she noticed the rapidly drying paw prints circling her catch. Towel in hand, she padded across the stepping-stones to the bank. Her trout lay several feet away from where she’d left them. The ominous pause in nature seemed to flutter, then lurch hesitantly back into the everyday life of the forest.Īmy gave one last sweeping glance along the riverbank. Tentative birdcalls began to fill the quiet. It coated her tongue and cramped her stomach. Nevertheless, she was left with a strong residue of unease.

It was nothing more than a penumbra, as vague as a watermark on the surrounding gloom. She squinted, trying to focus on its fluidity, a liquid whisper that melted from tree to tree.

The birdsong had stopped, and an eerie quiet had descended. She lifted her head and scanned the tree line hugging the riverside. And why hasn’t Leone moved on? Why does she still dog Amy’s every move?
