warm fingertips

[Ryan de le Poer]

Set at the Shattered Coast.[html]
SOMEWHERE THERE'S A CRACK IN THE SIDEWALK
BIGGER THAN THE SHADOW OF DEATH IN THIS TOWN

With low tide came previously submerged caves now empty. Ryan climbed down the sloping rock face and landed on the sandy shore below. The bag that she seemingly always carried was stashed further up on dry land – she didn’t want to get her fabrics damp. Though the sun was high, light only crept a few feet into the entrance of the cave. Anything beyond would only be discovered through listening and feeling.



The bright colors of her plaid dress faded away as shadow enveloped the girl. She stretched out both arms in front of her, resembling the living dead in an attack for human flesh. Her fingertips tingled as she awaited the moment when they would finally discover something. Though her blood red eyes were wide open, nothing but darkness lay in front of her.
