The object could be almost any little thing Nolan had; a hair, a coin, a keychain, it really didn’t matter except that it be fairly small. Nolan wasn’t supposed to know or notice but as it turned out he couldn’t no know. He didn’t know what a hex bag was yet but he knew theContinue reading “Crossroads Pt. 3”

Governors, mobsters, senators, bootleggers, ministers, witches, demons and spies had all darkened the doorstep on that old porch and now it was Nolan’s turn. He hopped off of the bus, still a little shaken from his encounter with the witches from his dream, not to mention seeing through the snake’s eyes. But these kinds ofContinue reading “Crossroads Pt. 2”

Now some people are natural portals. They cross between the physical realm and the spiritual realm seamlessly. There’s no process to go through, no spell to cast, no work or sacrifice that needs to be done. Nolan was one of those people, he was a natural portal. He moved in and out of the spiritualContinue reading “Crossroads Pt. 1”

As the boys began to argue over whether or not the log floating by was a gator, Nolan, the park director and the witches were all stricken with terror. Nobody was showing though, they had to keep their cool or people would start putting pieces together. The witches had heard David saying Nolan’s name andContinue reading “Recognition Pt. 4”

When they got to the mounds, Nolan and his classmates went and lined up outside by the path. Near the mound that housed the ancient temple there were burn marks on the ground. Of course, there were no bones left from the night before. The local sheriff had taken the remains to small farm nearbyContinue reading “Recognition Pt. 3”

Nolan’s carpool ride arrived as reliably as always. Mrs. Howard was always on time and she was just as sweet as honey when she spoke. Nolan sat down between Tory and her brother and looked down at the floor to prevent showing how embarrassed he was about their shoulders touching in the car. His shoulderContinue reading “Recognition Pt. 2”

Nolan was glad to see the sun rise. It had been a long night and he didn’t understand any of his dreams so the whole torturous night carry any meaning. It was just another night of troubled sleep. Outside Nolan’s window, he could see the sign to the movie theatre and the Red Lobster. HeContinue reading “The recognition Pt. 1”

After the witches finished cursing Nolan, they prepared for the sacrifice. It was a hot spring night in the south. All you could hear was wind, bullfrogs and cicadas screaming in the night. The noise would cover the sounds of the screaming around the fire. They were close enough to another human being to beContinue reading “The supplanting Pt. 4”

As the gathering for the witches holiday got started, Nolan was drifting back off to sleep. The gathering had over 200 witches and leaders of coven from around the state. They met occasionally to organize drug trafficking in the area and tonight they spent a quick few minutes discussing drop points, then they got toContinue reading “The supplanting Pt. 3”

At that same time, right at midnight, there was darkness brewing to the south. The governor was meeting a group of people in secret in the basement of the hubcap burger place near the state park. That place had been a secret meeting spot for a hundred years, since the bootlegger days. The bootleggers wereContinue reading “The supplanting Pt. 2”
