The Valley of Death

THE VALLEY OF DEATH

Cole jumped down on to the soft earth.

“It’s just the valley, Bea” He surveyed the expanse of green, the azure sky.  She shook her head.

“ I saw them.”

“They were probably just sheep – or goats” He started through the long grass; she didn’t follow. “You’re always imagining things, honey” He laughed, patronising.

“Don’t call me honey” She whispered, and the dark spirits rose up….just as the witches of the vengeful covenant had said they would.

“Bea?  Honey?”

But she howled at the sky with laughter as the dark spirits closed in, and tore at her ex-lovers heart.
