#SundayLit (#Happy & #Sad) #Wss366 #WordWeavers 10.5 — Antagonist sadness?A smile touched his lips, like a frost bloom on iron-hard ground: brittle, cold, and easily erased.
His eyes focused on the decaying Victorian on the hill. Mother would be so proud of his cleverness.
She had been so upset when the sheriff came by to ask questions about the abandoned car on Ashcreek Lane. Her shrill voice—a searing, shrieking wind, orphaned sparrows #piping under eaves, and the whistle of a willow cane—blew the crystal away.
But he was cleverer now. His eyes followed the bubbles emerging from the muddy bog, and with them, a full smile welled.

“Lets’s see if can force our way through the woods,” I said as I approached the forest. The branches intertwined like a shifting, chaotic basket. A wind moved through it seeming to whisper. Ma… ga… ga… mi... I remembered Ume’s stories about cursed truths and blocked it out as best I could. I was about to grab a branch when Kan-chan pulled on my arm.“We don’t have time! Come on! The Lake!” Kan-chan yelled.
I followed Kan-chan’s gaze where arms were rising from the center of the lake. It was the most terrifying thing to happen to me since the Red Door. I stood frozen as the arms moved toward the shore and heads emerged. The wind whispered Ma… ga… ma… gi… sama.
