Where The River Bends - Part Four

Just Coffee and Company Lainey wasn’t sure why she glanced toward the door when the little bell jingled. The cafe was always busy around this time, filled with regulars and weekenders. But her heart skipped a little when Wyatt Baker walked in, like it had waited for him. She hated that she noticed.... Sign in to see full entry.

Where The River Bends - Part Three

ONE STEP AT A TIME The next morning tiptoed in with a hush, the quiet only a small town could offer. Outside Lainey’s kitchen window, the faint hum of an early garbage truck rolled down the block, and a dog gave a half-hearted bark somewhere in the distance before settling again. The old wall clock... Sign in to see full entry.

Where The River Bends - Part Two

A REASON TO STAY Wyatt told himself he was just hungry. It was Sunday. A day like any other. No chores to do, no job site to check on, no responsibilities other than finding a decent breakfast. It wasn’t like he’d planned to come back to the same café two days in a row. That’d be silly. There were... Sign in to see full entry.

Where The River Bends - Part One

Where The River Bends by Verwayne Greenhoe CLOSER THAN HE THOUGHT The chime over the cafe door jingled as Wyatt Baker stepped inside, blinking against the glare of the Florida sun behind him. It was warm for early November, at least by Michigan standards, but he wasn’t complaining. After all, the... Sign in to see full entry.

Beyond the Fence - Chapter Thirty Six

THE SOUND IN THE TREES “ And say what, exactly?” Patti asked again, her voice sharper now, her nerves a bit frayed. Alex didn’t answer right away. He sat at the edge of the bed, one sock half on, staring at the worn patch of carpet beneath his feet as if it might hold the answer. A faint breeze... Sign in to see full entry.

Beyond the Fence - Chapter Thirty Five

Scratches in the Wire Morning came slowly, gray and sticky. Patti hadn’t slept for more than an hour. Alex, groggy but less rattled, shuffled into the kitchen to start the coffee while Patti stood barefoot by the sliding glass door, staring into the backyard. Something felt wrong. Buster came up...

Beyond the Fence - Chapter Thirty Four

Red Eyes in the Dark Two nights later, Alex finally caught something on camera that stopped his breath cold. It was nearly 3:00 a.m. when the motion alert buzzed his phone. Patti was asleep, curled into a tight ball, the dogs at the foot of the bed, but still on edge. Alex slipped downstairs,... Sign in to see full entry.

Beyond the Fence - Chapter Thirty Three

Whispers at the Window The wind shifted that night, bringing the scent of damp earth and something else—an acrid tinge that clung to the air like a warning. Alex stood by the kitchen sink, scrubbing at a plate but not seeing it. Patti was upstairs, folding laundry with a low hum in her throat. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Beyond the Fence - Chapter Thirty Two

Watching from Within The following morning, Alex retrieved the SD card from the newest trail cam he had placed just inside the brush line. He didn’t review the footage immediately—he had a routine now: coffee first, breakfast, check the dogs, let the nerves settle. When he finally opened the file,... Sign in to see full entry.

Beyond the Fence - Chapter Thirty One

The Gathering The next evening, Alex invited over a few of the neighbors who had been part of that first barbecue—Jack, Richard, and others who had since become believers. Patti lit a small fire at the yard's edge in a raised pit. They brought lawn chairs, six-packs, and a few bags of chips. Someone... Sign in to see full entry.
