    The rain was coming down harder now than it had been for the past four and a half hours of the drive up to the cabin in Maine. “I think I need to pull over,” suggested Nora as she braked and carefully pulled the car to the side of the heavily wooded road. “How much longer til we get there?” asked Crosby from the back seat.“Well, if the rain would stop coming down in buckets…”Crosby and Dax abruptly interrupted with their Uncle Larry’s favorite story opener; “It was a dark and stormy night, …the rain came down in BUCKETS!” This, of course, was followed by an eruption of laughter. Nora’s best fr...FfKone door

Elaine’s fingers feel the metal of the cup slowly heating up from its warm contents. Her gag reflex is becoming tough to control with the fumes and stench from the cup so close to her face.  The Overseer has his embellished arms crossed, rubbing some of the paint and dirt off on his ceremonial clothing. With his dark and bushy eyebrows furrowed he turns his back against Elaine, shakes his head and sighs heavily. "I knew she was we...FfKone door
