Very Short Excerpt from Raven Cursed

Because I love you guys!
The rain made it hard to make sense of anything, and not just because the ground was mushy and the downpour was spilling down my neck. Not just because the cold front was pushing in fast on top of the dying hurricane, changing temps into early fall. The storm had washed all the scents downhill to meet the feeder creek the campers had pitched their tents beside. The creek was now a rushing torrent clogged with trash, brush, and body parts, the roar a violent white noise that drowned out every other sound.
I had seen a lot of gore in my day. I’d made a lot too. But this was beyond anything I had seen, a sensory overload, further complicated by the scent pattern. The (killers) had been here more than once, the newer scent overlaying the older one like open wounds, infected and dying. I learned one important thing—the woman killed here had been a witch…
I crossed my arms and hunched my back against the cold, but, despite my faster metabolism, the dropping temps were seeping into my bones along with the wet. Standing under the partial protection of a big-leafed Royal Paulownia tree, I studied the site. I didn’t know what was driving the killers beyond revenge and sickness. The level of violence here made no sense at all. They (killers) had rampaged, slaughtering all the campers … in an attack that appeared frenzied and irrational… I looked out over the campsite…. Rampage. Violence. Bloodlust.
:-D
