SHUTTERS AND SHUDDERS
Our room in the inn had a little square of a window covered with a wood shutter. I pulled it open for a
look outside and to get some air. Down below I heard a soft sound like whispering. Something was
definitely on the move. I saw a rippling along the cobbles, growing more substantial the longer I stared. It
covered the width of the street, flowing like a river. The only sound was that weird whispering, like
thousands of ghosts.

The fur on my nape went straight up.

Just as I began to wonder if it was intelligent or powered by intelligence, a tendril of the dark stuff oozed
out from the main body and came creeping up the side of the building toward me.

I slammed the shutter into place and locked it, for all the good it would do. Time to call the cavalry.

"Uh . . . Terrin? You might wanna see this. Terrin?" I shook his shoulder. "Come on, wake up."

Eyes fast shut, his face was a sickly gray and slick with sweat. That wasn't right.

I half knelt and shook him again. "Terrin? Hey, buddy, don't do this. I'm scared enough."

Something audibly brushed against the window opening. I jumped, my heart trying to swim upstream to
my throat.

I shook Terrin a lot harder now. No response. He was absolutely rigid. Like a corpse.

Not right.Not right. Red alert. Battle stations.

The whispering grew more pronounced, stronger. Whatever was behind it wantedin and began bumping
against the shutter.

Time to exit, stage left . . .
