The Withered Series (Book 1): Wither - Plot & Excerpts
The woods are illuminated by the flames, both directly behind us and further into the distance. I remain by Cable’s side, his arm around my shoulder, allowing me to assist him. The pack on my back is heavy, filled with hammers, chisels, a small ax and a pretty wicked looking mallet, but it is not nearly as heavy as my heart. Eva was not with Alex’s group when I emerged with Cable from the barn. I spotted Alex first. He worked with Sal to toss unfamiliar bodies into the flames. The two story farm house was ablaze, sending a plume of smoke into the night air that would easily be seen for miles around. Victoria puttered about, randomly kicking at the deceased. I’m not exactly sure what her point in doing that was, but the old bat wasn’t exactly all there the last time I saw her. She seems worse off now. When Alex looked up and saw me under Cable’s arm, a sad smile lit his face, but it quickly vanished when I told him Devon had fallen. I didn’t say how or why. Cable noticed but didn’t say anything.
