Inside The Echo – Jen Blood

“Let’s continue up this trail a little farther and see if we can find anyone.” Ava and Violet agreed, though neither seemed to have strength for more than a grunt. Recluse glanced up at her, tail waving briefly, and waited for Megan to lead the way. Suddenly, the dog went stiff. His ears came up, head tilted to the left. Megan watched the fur stand up along the ridge of his back, the dog growling all the while.

“Stop,” she whispered to the others. The three of them froze. Megan wrapped her hand around Recluse’s collar, and held on tight. Somewhere close by, she could hear someone moving through the brush. It wasn’t an animal – the footsteps and the rustling of branches were too lumbering for that. Ava started to speak, but Megan put her finger up to her mouth.

They stood like that for at least three minutes as they listened to the sounds move farther and farther away, never sure whether they were in fact hearing the shooter. Another five minutes ticked by. Then ten. Recluse had relaxed. The forest sounds Megan heard now, she was sure, were native to these woods. The monster had gone. Maybe their luck was turning. They’d been able to rest in the cabin; not much, but enough to get them through another day. People would still be looking.

Recluse was still with them. And the wind and occasional flurries meant that any tracks they left on top of the solid-crusted snow were obliterated almost as soon as they left them, making tracking them that much harder. “Should we keep going?” Violet finally asked, breaking the silence.

Megan nodded. They’d been still for so long that her limbs ached once she got them moving again. They walked on regardless, Megan’s hand resting at the top of Recluse’s head.

Who makes home my favorite place to be. OceanofPDF.com Chapter 1 WildFire Expeditions Mahoosuc Mountains, Maine February 4, 1:30 a.m. MEGAN HUNTER SAT in front of the campfire, a Malamute curled in the snow a couple of feet from her side.

Though night had long since fallen, the combination of a full moon, snowy landscape, and the raging fire kept the darkness at bay. Megan had a tin cup of coffee warming her gloved hands, a belly full of franks and beans, and seven other dogs – some Malamute, some husky, some mutts from gods knew where – on a picket line just to the north of their campsite.

A birthday card lay in her lap, read so many times in the past week that it was already getting faded. The others had gone to bed hours ago: nine women including Megan’s younger sister, who was running this expedition alongside her. The participants in the group ranged in age from early twenties to late fifties.

All strong, reasonably fit, damned determined…and most of them here because they’d dug deep and somehow found the gumption to leave abusive partners within the past six months.
