Sam tossed Mykael Montero’s file on top of the rapidly growing pile of paperwork on her battered desk. She’d already made so many trips to the sally port, then to the holding cells, then back to her desk that her feet hurt. And it took a lot to make her feet hurt, no matter how torturous the shoes.

Witchy Chicks Round Robin Horror Story for 2009 – A Dread and Awful Secret

Twice a year the lovely Witchy Chicks write a round robin story for our readers. It’s posted free on the Witchy Chicks blog. It’s unscripted, undiscussed and often takes strange and interesting turns as each Witchy Chick adds to the story on a daily basis until we’ve all had a turn.

This year I was thrilled (okay, terrified) to be given the chance to kick off the story which I’ve named A Dread and Awful Secret. Stop by and see what we’re up to and leave us a comment.

We hope you enjoy this year’s halloween story.
