A Strange And Savage Garden (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Something large crashing through the undergrowth behind her, huge lungs working like bellows, sour breath hot against the back of her neck like wind from an open blast furnace. A sound—half growl, half whine—a combination of excitement, anger, and above all, need—wells up from deep inside the thing pursuing her. It sounds close, so very, very close, and she wants to scream, has to, but she’s running too hard, breathing too hard to make any sound beyond a harsh panting. She feels a tightness in her chest as the scream sits there, trapped, building toward a release which may never come. If I can just reach the edge of the woods… The thought trails off and dies. Her mind is given over almost entirely to keeping her legs moving, adrenaline pumping, heart and lungs operating at peak efficiency, senses bright and sharp, pushing aside millions of years of evolution so that the tiny, shivering mammal that resides deep within her brain can come to the fore and do what it’s best at: survive.
