THE WHISPERS - Part 3
Wafels squinted into the darkness. His long coat did little to keep out the chill. Dusk had fully come and gone, and now all it had left behind was its shadow. Wafels growled and tied his hair up into a bun.
"Lucent, damn it. You're going to freeze to death if I don't find you."
Wafels continued to shuffle through into the woods. He had unknowingly strayed off the main path and was stumbling through the brush. Time passed. Minutes? Hours? Wafels had no idea, only that it had gotten awfully dark and awfully cold. He breathed into his hands and vigorously rubbed them together, slapping them against his thighs for circulation. He could only think of how much longer Lucent had been out in the woods than he had been... and how he had to find her - fast.
Waf took a deep breath and squared his shoulders.
"LUCENT! LUCENT, WHERE ARE YOU?"
He waited.
Silence greeted him with its ominous welcome.

"Life is short. Death is temporary. Love is eternal."
