Wind blew through the cold autumn trees, causing the leaves to dance with a flare of oranges, red and brown, the dim light of the dying sun illuminated the silhouette of two figures staring at the bright red moon from the cleared hilltop. One man, one woman, each watched as a single glowing streak crossed the violet sky highlighted by the vibrant topaz light.
“So why’d you bring me out here, Johnny?” the woman asked, Johnny knelt closer and placed his arm around her shoulder. “You know the rumours people are passing around, about couples going missing in the hours of the night.”

It seemed like the mix between campfire smoke and the burning scent from a filling, most likely it was burning bone. The horrid smell forced me to gag and feel thankful that they hadn’t phoned me during or after breakfast. I brought my shirt over my face and found that the colour of Ethan’s face was fading, replacing his light brown tan with the pale white of snow already turning a slight green.
“Ethan, if you can’t hold out until we get there, turn back and you can help check with the jogger who found the bodies got it?” Charlie said, rather reluctantly. “You can still turn back too.” His last words made me feel a knot in the pit of my
