With the snow and cold, it seems a shame not to mention Mumsket. Here's a paragraph: A noise floated out of the woods – like the noise he heard when he had moved the tree out of the road, an eerie whisper. Aaron stopped to look, but the air was too thick with snow for him to see anything. White turned to gray as dusk descended on the day. He dropped the olive green army duffel that belonged to his stepfather, and crunched into the center of the rutted and icy road. He could tell when they pulled in that the road made a turn here. A turn to the left. Along the road, built very close to the road, were about twenty identical plyboard shacks, each with its own van or SUV, and each with its own smoke belching from a short metal stack. Some of the windows were already lit with lanterns from the inside. |
