Through the Woods - Excerpt 19- Flying Sparks - A Novel – A Night Time Journey
Drake McCarty’s leg was shattered deep in the wilderness, and as the flash flood closed over him, he looked death in the face.
When he wakes up in a hospital bed, in a military base that shouldn’t exist, he has a whole leg and a furious sister to deal with.
Drake is sworn to keep a secret he doesn’t understand, but whatever pulled him out of the flood, isn’t quite done with him yet, because even if you leave nothing but footprints, the things that walk the forest can still follow you home.
Excerpt 19
For some time Bard stood there hoping to calm his core with the warm memory replays. However far too soon the need to see the fragile little ember filled him again and he slid off into the night. The general had grown far too adapt at reading their colors and the bard did not want to have to explain the sudden rushes of bright orange guilt that were telling across his membrane.
The base fence posed little trouble to him. Shifting into a quadruped mode he had observed in some of the local omnivores Bard gained enough speed to easily vault the chain-link and razor wire that covered it. Once he reached the proper position he forced his mass up and into a thin stream. For a brief moment he hung in the air over the barrier with the moonlight shining through his membrane and his own core gleaming aquamarine. Then his mass flowed over to the Park side of the fence and he took the shape of the bear again. This time he made the effort to darken his membrane and roll around in the bark and pine needles in the forest floor. When he was done the surface area of his hide had absorbed the fibers and sorted them into a passable fur coat. He concentrated his higher thought functions in the specially formed cavity at the cranial end and let struts harden within in the shape of a skeleton. Shaking his head and snorting in satisfaction Bard lumbered off at a strictly regulation twenty-five miles an hour. He had never personally observed a bear traveling at that speed but that was what the books noted.
