What Shadows Come

As the wind howled through the trees and the rain came down in sheets, I crashed my way through the woods back to the cottage. Usually, I make my way to the old hollow on the full moon to gather herbs. My grandmother taught me as a child that the full moon was the best time to gather herbs from the hollow. Unfortunately, this time my journey was not fruitful. Halfway there, this storm started up. I had thought I had enough time. Apparently, I was wrong.
