Hanna Rae in Enter the Mask

Book Cover & Preview Text
Once I stepped over the entry to
this yard, the wind seemed to skirt the space. I slowly wove my way between the
crusty stones. The simple names carved on the stones were filled with moss. The
dates themselves were old. This space hadn’t been disturbed for some time now.
The large pines loomed over head with black shadows in a dusting of fog. I
looked up to see the silhouettes of giants standing guard.
I looked around and saw nothing
of Airy. I read the names on a few of the stones as I passed. I heard something
rustle in the overgrown ferns to the side. I stood still feeling my heart beat
faster and faster. Why had I walked in here anyway? I couldn’t help but think
being drawn into a graveyard was a bad sign. I read the name on the grave
beside me. The last name was KUMO. My mouth opened wide as I thought what a
rare name. I heard it twice within the last two days. Standing with my mouth
opened, a fly flew in. I coughed and spit and sputtered. Shocked by the reality
of this place I stumbled along toward the open hole and the slanted building.
The tiny building had a chair
sitting outside. I could smell wood burning. Something smashed to the floor
inside. My stomach twisted as I stopped dead in my tracks. What would I say if
someone stepped out of the building? I caught my breath and whirled around to
make the dash to the mud road. I bumped right into a body standing close to me.
I screamed and swung my arms.
