Excerpt:
“Actually,
I lived abroad. I just moved back to the US. My dad sent me to live with my
aunts when my…” My breath hitched. I couldn’t say the words aloud. The bus
driver gave me a sympathetic look in the mirror. I realized he must have
noticed me carrying the urn. I sank lower in my seat, staring out the window at
the dreary landscape. Grey clouds covered the sun and bleached the color out of
our surroundings. The only familiar thing at the moment was the fog rolling
over the hills. It reminded me of San Francisco, where I'd lived the last few
months. I had been so excited to move there. How could I have known it would
end in such tragedy?
“Well,
Misty Hills may not be the most exciting place to live, but there are plenty of
stories about it.”
“What
kind of stories?” I had tried googling it, but the search engine hadn't yielded
much information. It was as if that one town in Colorado were cut off from all
technology.
“All
sorts of things. There are rumors that the original founders of the town were
runaway witches from Salem. You know, from the Salem witch hunts back in the
day?”
“Really?”
I felt pretty skeptical. “So, they’re superstitious?”
“A
little. I’ve heard all kinds of wild tales about the goings-on in Misty Hills.
Too many crazy stories, but I guess the sources aren’t the most reputable. Try
to take in as much as you can right now because we’re arriving around the time
the sun sets.”
I
hadn't believed my father was serious about sending me away until he instructed
me to get on the bus. I begged to stay with him, but he was adamant. I got
angry and threatened to run away as soon as I arrived at my aunts' house. He
asked me to come to terms with what had happened. What about me? I
thought. Don’t I get to have some time to get used to having lost my mother?
Do I have to lose my father too?
