The Breached Border

-Sloane-

*“Daddy! Daddy! Look! What is that?!”*

*“Sloane! Stay away from that!”*

*“But Daddy! It’s moving! Loooook!”*

*“Goddess, Sloane, I told you to… By the Goddess, it is moving! Sloane, get your mother!”*

The deeply buried childhood memory violently echoes in my mind, a terrifying flashback of my father and I discovering a strange, shifting creature in the dense woods of our territory.
