Riverwatch – Chapter Eight

May 4, 2010

RESURRECTION Inside the tomb. Movement. It began as nothing more than a subtle shifting in the darkness, a change in the rank air that filled the buried structure, a stirring sense of motion that was more felt than seen, as if the air pressure had suddenly lowered. Gradually as the moments passed the motion became [...]
