At first, he thought it was a trick of the shadows.\u00c2\u00a0 A reflection of something beyond his field of vision.\u00c2\u00a0 He wouldn\u2019t go so far as to call it a delusion.\u00c2\u00a0 After a moment, he decided it was definitely real.\u00c2\u00a0 \u201cAnna,\u201d he said.\u00c2\u00a0 \u201cLook.\u201d<\/p>\n
She did.\u00c2\u00a0 He heard her gasp.<\/p>\n
In the middle of the field, where before there had been only a wide expanse of grass separating two of the oldest sections of the cemetery, a series of tents had popped up.\u00c2\u00a0 If there had been a fair before Anna and Darren reached the rest house, he was sure they would\u2019ve seen it.<\/p>\n
But that\u2019s what it looked like.\u00c2\u00a0 A miniature fairgrounds.\u00c2\u00a0 Instead of typical fair crowds, there were one or two dozen ravens perched in pairs on top of the tents.<\/p>\n
A sweet smell, like candied apples, reached them, and a single raven\u2019s caw, and a sudden breeze.<\/p>\n
\u201cShangri La?\u201d Anna said, standing.<\/p>\n
Darren was shaking his head.\u00c2\u00a0 \u201cHow did we not see that?\u00c2\u00a0 It\u2019s not a carnival, is it?\u00c2\u00a0 No.\u201d\u00c2\u00a0 He was certain of that now.\u00c2\u00a0 \u201cA camp?\u201d<\/p>\n
Anna moved to the window and leaned out over the bricks.\u00c2\u00a0 Definitively, in a tone that left no room for argument, she said, \u201cFairies.\u201d<\/p>\n
Though he couldn\u2019t argue, Darren knew, without question or reservation, she was wrong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
