A Time Of Shadows (Out Of Time #8) - Plot & Excerpts
The car struggled through the rutted dirt road. Limbs from bushes and trees reached out into the clearing, growing into the space. It had always struck him how alive the bayou was, how it was a living thing. Every inch of it, every waterway, every plant and animal grasping for more. If someone sat in one place long enough, the bayou would simply swallow them whole. Their car hit a deep hole and next to him the girl bounced off her seat. She looked at him with worried eyes, but set her mouth in a grim line and gripped the armrest tightly. When they reached the curve in the road, signaling that the house was near, Victor saw the abandoned car exactly where it had been years ago, the front end still crushed against the massive trunk of the Angel Oak. The long twisting tree branches still stuck out like snakes from Medusa’s head, frozen in time, but ready to strike. Vines and God only knew what had taken up residence in the rusting metal hunk. Like a scavenger eating a carcass, the bayou was slowly devouring the car.
