Jack Shian And The Mapa Mundi (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
His grandfather’s voice showed tiredness, but no hint of unease. Jack’s lips moved, but his mouth was parched and no sound came out. He stared hard at the ring of twigs. Grandpa Sandy’s gaze followed Jack’s, but there was no recognition on his face. Rana, sensing that something was wrong, had fallen silent. Jack got uneasily to his feet, his damp clothes clinging to him. He gripped the yucca ring in his right pocket. There was no doubt about it: his hand was sticky. “Shape-shifter,” he mumbled. “Where?” whispered Rana, following Jack’s gaze. “I just thought someone had tried to make a sundial.” “Probably human children playing,” said Grandpa, getting up and hobbling towards the twig ring. “No, Grandpa!” blurted Jack, but it was too late. Grandpa Sandy was knocked sideways as he stepped into the ring. Jack saw little more than a blur, but the roar that accompanied it would stay in his mind for a very long time, and Rana’s scream would run that sound a very close second.
