Excerpt - text

As the dark shroud of night enveloped the land, Anna couldn’t banish the haunting voice from her dreams. The same one that echoed through the forest earlier.


She huddled closer to the warmth of the hearth as the chill of night crept in.


The savory aroma of stew filled her home. As she stirred the pot, she peered into her bubbling dinner. It was almost done. Sinking back into her chair, she pulled the quilt tighter around her shoulders.


A bushel of apples from the Fields sat nearby. She would make them into a pie later this evening. Her last evening.


Anna settled into her straw chair to wait for the stew when a loud knock echoed at the door.


Who could be knocking at this hour?


Setting the ladle on the hearth, she padded toward the door as the floorboards creaked beneath her slippers. She gripped the door handle and froze, standing there for a moment, listening to the wind tremble outside.


Who—or what—was on the other side? It could be Miss Lila coming to check on her. Goodness forbid, it was Gideon Marsh trying to lure her back to his home.


Maybe it was Miss Deena worried about her impulsive decision to leave the town without considering the consequences.


A nna held her head up. It was her decision and hers alone. And she would stand by it even more to protect the remaining ones she cared about.


She swung the door open, ready to say the words when…


There was no one.


Nothing but howling gusts against the dark night.


Anna hugged the worn quilt around her tightly, peering out into the empty darkness. The door was handle cool against her fingertips as she reached for it. Clutching it, she spotted a parchment tucked under a tiny pumpkin at her feet.


A heavy exhale followed by a high-pitched neigh and the clomping of hooves echoed through the stillness of the night. Two magnificent horses emerged from the fog, dragging a lavish carriage made of gold and velvet. Delicate tinted windows sat on each side of the carriage, too dark for her to see inside.


The door creaked open, and she waited for someone to step out.


But there was no one inside.


Was she dreaming? She had to be. There was no way this was truly happening…


She peered at the note again, spotting the elegant cursive written on the other side of the envelope: Invitation from the Pumpkin King.


A shaky breath escaped her.


She wasn’t dreaming. This was real.


Opening the envelope, she pulled out the parchment paper and read it, trying to decipher the words under the moonlight.


This carriage will bring you to where you seek. You need only board it and whisper your readiness. ~TPK


This was it—her threshold to the beyond.
