Beyond the Fence - Chapter Twenty-Six

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX: 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... Sign in to see full entry.

Beyond the Fence - CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE: 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... 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.

Beyond the Fence - Chapter Twenty One

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: THE THINGS WE FORGET The morning after the campfire incident was unusually quiet. Patti sipped her coffee on the porch, watching the sun climb over the treetops like nothing had happened. The world, somehow, didn’t seem to notice that something unnatural had stalked their...

Beyond the Fence - Chapter Twenty

CHAPTER TWENTY: OLD BELIEFS, NEW TERRORS Word was spreading, not from the mouths of gossipers, but through sideways glances and late-night calls. A few of the older residents were starting to talk—quietly, carefully, like folks who had been warned once long ago not to stir old ghosts. Marlene... Sign in to see full entry.

Beyond the Fence - Chapter Nineteen

CHAPTER NINETEEN: THE EYES THAT FOLLOW Alex barely slept. Every time he drifted off, he saw them. Red orbs. Unblinking. Not glowing exactly—it is more like shimmering with the same kind of eerie refraction as oil on water. There was intelligence behind those eyes, but no warmth. Just… hunger. Cold,...

Beyond the Fence - Chapter Eighteen

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: THE SCRATCH MARK Patti screamed when she saw it. Not a shriek of panic, but a short, sharp burst of raw fear that punched through the silence like a shotgun blast. Alex bolted from the bathroom, half-shaven and still holding the electric razor, only to find her standing barefoot in... Sign in to see full entry.

Beyond the Fence - Chapter Seventeen

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: THE FOURTH NIGHT’S FOOTAGE Alex didn’t sleep. Lord knows he tried, but his brain wouldn’t let him. Whenever he closed his eyes, he saw those red lights… those eyes … hovering above the brush, blinking in that slow, deliberate rhythm. By morning, he was already outside with a mug...
