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.

Beyond the Fence - Chapter Thirty

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 Twenty-Nine

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 really seeing it. Patti was upstairs, folding laundry with a low hum in her... Sign in to see full entry.

Beyond the Fence - Chapter Twenty-Eight

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 TWENTY-FOUR

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR: WHISPERS IN THE DARK Word spread faster than Alex expected. By that evening, the small picnic area behind their house was filled again, not with grilled burgers and laughter, but with folding chairs, flashlights, and murmured questions. The laptop sat in the center of the table,... Sign in to see full entry.

Beyond the Fence - CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE: THE PICTURE THAT MOVED Alex didn’t believe in bad omens. Not really, b ut something about how the trail cam had fallen over, despite being zip-tied to a solid metal post, had his stomach twisting in a way that wasn’t just bad chili. The mount was intact. The zip ties weren’t... Sign in to see full entry.

Beyond the Fence - Chapter Twenty Two

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO: THROUGH AMY'S EYES Amy hadn’t slept much since the campfire. She hadn’t meant to fall apart like that, not in front of everyone. But once that sound rolled out of the brush—low and throaty like an engine made of gravel—something in her had just… snapped. It was the primal part.... Sign in to see full entry.
