A Simple Winter: A Seasons Of Lancaster Novel - Plot & Excerpts
The voice was small and helpless, the voice of a child. “Please, Dat! Don’t go.” Adam opened his eyes to darkness, the velvety blackness of a safe space. It was still night, but the voice wasn’t coming from a dream. “Don’t go down there, Dat! He’s a bad man.” “Simon …” In an instant Adam was out of bed, fumbling on the bedside table for a match. The flare illuminated Simon pacing at the foot of the bed, arguing in his sleep. Another night terror, though this time the tone was different and Simon had spilled a new detail. He had mentioned a man, not a bear, and Adam wanted to hear more. The kerosene lamp burst into light, but Simon didn’t seem to notice as he continued his rant. “Dat, no! Please don’t go talk to him. Didn’t you hear what he said?” Simon’s eyes were wild, his cheeks wet with tears. “He’s got a gun!” “Who?” Adam moved closer to his brother, trying to get through to him. He knew the boy was sleepwalking, but maybe in this subconscious state Simon would give him some detail … a description or a name.
