Excerpt
The Greymen's world of nightmare was not too different from the real world, except that it was constantly shifting. The landscape faded in or out to reveal new scenery as we walked. I caught glimpses of wild lands covered in grime and knotted roots, bits of the cityscape, eerie mist-draped woods. We trekked on, becoming ever more watchful as our silence deepened.
The hairs on the back of my neck rose as the landscape shifted to a cool desert night. A loud snapping sound broke the air around us. We looked desperately in all directions. Then we both saw: the ground was splitting in two between us.
A large crack formed on the dry desert's face, stretching its fingers toward us. I urged Billy to jump over to my side, but too late. The ground opened up into a crater several feet wide and many more leagues deep. There was no way Billy's chubby legs could carry him over.
But me, I was svelte and long. My mother used to say that I had dancer's legs. I thought about the way that running felt in dreams; the air whips by so fast and my body is so light, it's like flying. I held on to that memory and made to leap over the canyon when I heard Billy shout.
I stopped short, scanning the desert. A horde of Greymen marched across both sides of the growing canyon, headed straight at us.
