Grave
Rain is falling harder now. Dirt turning to mud. The night sky sits black, storm clouds hiding the moon. The hole is almost dug. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he throws the shovel next to the grave. The summer night is warm but brings him chills. His breathing heavier and his heart races. Nerves overtake him as he climbs into the grave. He takes a deep breathe, his nerves calming. He reaches up, grabbing the rope in his trembling hands. Excitement overcomes him. He pulls the rope. Laying there smiling, dirt covers him from head to toe.

The Forest: Part 1
“It’s getting too dark. I don’t know which way they went.” Deputy Walker says nervously. The sun is setting fast on the officers, especially with the giant oak trees found in the Hollow Creek Forest. As soon as the sun gets low enough the forest trees consume the light, and the entire area is engulfed in darkness. Sheriff Pearson starts to slow his pace from a sprint to a jog and when he reaches the edge of the Hollow Creek Forest he stops completely. Deputy Walker slowly catches up to the sheriff. He stands next to Pearson and bends over, placing both hands on his knees. He takes this brief moment of rest to try and catch his breath and let his heart calm down slightly. The two officers have been chasing these two on foot for close to ten minutes and the Deputy is exhausted.
