Mr. Hideaway

“I was never so frightened when dreaming. I couldn’t believe how real it was.”


Josh wanted to chuckle, but didn’t. “The warlocks are everywhere in these parts, even in our dreams. They have a lot of control over us. They own all of this land and its buildings. They want to own our souls.”


“It was terrifying, Josh. I feel as if I’ve lost part of my mind.”


“You’re safe with me. I’ll make sure their coven won’t hurt you.”


Zeth looked into Josh’s eyes and whispered, “You promise?”


“I promise. Always.” Josh winked at the man and wanted to kiss him, but knew that it wasn’t the time.


Zeth found enough strength to have lunch with Josh.


Josh opened most of the windows in his cabin, and the two sat inside the kitchen area at a small table.


Zeth sipped very little minestrone soup and nibbled at his turkey and Swiss sandwich.
