Chapter Twenty – The Past

Hobs in the Dark

Another spear pierced the canvas lining, nearly skewering his arm. Dev stumbled to the side and grabbed hold of the backboard of the carriage. He hauled himself over it, hitting the ground hard.

The arid landscape stretched for miles in both directions. Sand and grit, peppered with larger stones, made up the surface of the ground. Walls of hard rock towered on either side of them and formed a long, canyon corridor, entrapping them. The land was the antithesis of New Haven. Dev couldn’t see a single green thing anywhere.

The gurgling sounds grew.

He turned toward the source, drawing Thirst.

The creatures reminded him of grotesque babies engorged to the size of a young child. Each of the monsters was a sickly pale gray, their skin carrying a wet shine that caught the moon’s light. Their beady eyes seemed too small for their misshapen and thick heads. The hobs’ bellies jiggled as they waddled, straining their matted loincloths.

Dev made a note of the crude, wooden implements they carried. A few of the monsters held sharpened sticks, paler in color than their own skin. It took him a second to identify what they were made from. That’s not shale. It’s bone.
