EXCERPT

“Funny thing about the hands,” I said, straddling a barstool. “You didn’t tell me they’d be reaching out of the bog.”

“Didn’t I?” The Innkeeper said. “No, I’m sure I did. First thing we tell all the tourists is about the hands.”

“No. No one mentioned them. It’s all right, though. They were friendly enough.”
