      The sound of water coursing over rocks filled my ears. The creek banks reached out with lush green vegetation as if to grab and hold me, and the warm June air was sweet with the smell of honeysuckle. The creek was small. Four good jumps and I could g

      Strays - Jason Strange

      Chapter 1

      Downhill

      Quentin Sparks leaned over the handlebars of his road bike. His feet stopped spinning the pedals as he let himself coast down a steep, winding hill.

      His friend Reese hadn’t been far behind him when they’d started the climb. Now, though, Reese was still climbing, while Quentin was enjoying the high speed of a wicked descent.

      The wind rushed over Quentin’s face and through his hair, cooling him after a long day of riding. He and Reese had been on their bikes since early that morning. They’d left their hometown by the route they always took, but for the ride home, Reese had suggested something new.

      Quentin watched Reese cruise down from the top of the hill toward him.

      A small sign stood next to the road. It read, Welcome to Ravens Pass. Although it was spring and the grass all around was healthy and green, the wild flowers growing at the base of the sign were black and wilting.

      Reese shook his head. Nope, he said. "When Jake told me about
