Winter Rain, part 52
Filed in Winter Rain, Oct 9, 2008, 00:32Keely and I look back up the road, toward the village. Sure enough, there’s a car idling on the shoulder, about a hundred yards back.

Winter Rain, part 47
Filed in Winter Rain, Sep 23, 2008, 23:48Chapter 5 I hear footsteps approaching the door and I scootch me and Morey out of the way just as it swings open. Dugan steps inside and takes in the room.
