Dark Ride

by Iain Rob Wright

Natalie took off, leading them through the park. Pamela wondered how she’d missed all the posters featuring this new Frenzy ride. As the latest amusement ride, it was seemingly advertised all over the park. One poster, pasted against the side of King Alfred’s Hog Roast, stated in sinister lettering: Woden’s Frenzy: Escape the fury of the elder god.

The deer continued to stare at them. It really didn’t seem like it planned on moving. AJ wasn’t prepared to have a stand-off, too eager to arrive at Saxon Hills, so he took his foot off the brake and rolled the Land Rover forward. The stag held its ground, seeming to glare at him with genuine hatred. Its black eyes smouldered as the swaying branches overhead cast their shifting shadows.

Loved this part! This was a great opening scene for what was yet to come!!

Blood streaked Ashley face, making her look like a Celtic warrior.
