Eerie Indiana Drabble: No

[froodle]

"Close your eyes," said the voice from the woods. "Close your eyes and reach."

Marshall Teller, pale blue eyes now full of green and growing things, shook his head. For a moment, it seemed like the trees were shaking with him.

"No," he said, forcing the words out with difficulty, as though his mouth was stuffed with peat and loam. "No, I don't think I will."

Now the trees did shake, though it was the anger of some ancient, hungry thing being thwarted, rather than a motion carried by the sympathetic magic of the Harvest King.

"Coward," the forest hissed.
