Cold sleet woke him, great globs of the stuff numbing his face as they tore from the night sky. He was propped up against the trunk of the mighty oak against which he had fallen. He must have been slumped there for hours, unconscious after his fall, and could barely feel his fingers from the cold. Lifting his hands, he realised he was still clutching the book from the bizarre murder scene at the top of the hill. The leather binding, and Daniel’s hands, were still slicked with grue from the corpse’s chest cavity. In the numbness devouring his extremities, the book felt disturbingly like a thick chunk of flesh. He wiped the grimoire, and his fingers, on the sleet-filled grass.

As he opened the mysterious little volume, the wind dropped suddenly to a low moan. The sleet retreated up the hill to add further chill to the nightmarish house from which he had fled. The clouds broke, and starlight kissed the yellowing pages of the book, illuminating their fine script and arcane woodcuts. Daniel quickly returned the book to the safety of his jacket pocket, then stood up and made his way back to the path he travelled earlier. The wind hissed bitterly around him and every inch of his being craved shelter and a warm fire. But Daniel knew he could not bear to enter that dreadful house again and instead headed down the steep winding path, back to the inlet.
