A heavy cloud obscured the moonlight that had glittered
across the wet ground and illuminated the path through the swamp, leaving them
in darkness.
“Shit, what do we do now?”
“Can’t even travel by feel; it all feels squishy.”
The two men considered their situation for several
moments.
“Look!”
“What?”
“Behind you. Lights.”
“Shit, close your eyes!”
“Why?”
“Those are swamp wisps. Don’t look!”
“Those are the town lights. We must almost be there. I
bet they’ll lead us in.”
“No!”
The silence was broken by squishy footsteps moving away
from the path. They were cut off by a scream.
