You keep us hanging on for more details about Bara. I feel she is like the test subject of those entities. She can come in and our of the dream world into reality at ease. She better not trust but those 2 real friends she has. I feel sorry for people's misunderstanding of witches. Long subject but it all shows how people can be ignorant and evil. You are carrying the torch of truth be said.

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Sami. Yes, I felt it was important before I headed into a tale about spooky witches, that a historical perspective be offered.

[Sami Khalil]

Ok. I understand.

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome.

"She stumbled and almost fell. Someone had tried to trip her. She didn’t stop to name the culprit. Such occurrences were far too common to bother."

"The bell rang. Chestermire reminded the class of their upcoming exam and dismissed everyone. The girls began to pack up and exit. The Goths all but flew out of the room, their long black hair flapping like crow wings behind them."

Bara dreams of the dark-haired boy, but one blustery day, the dark-haired boy is replaced by a silvery spectre who haunts her even when she is awake, pulling her deeper into dreams and closer to secrets she is better off not knowing. Waking up is no relief. The fictional east-coast town of Windfall offers its own surprises: immortal witches, coffee-loving werewolves, and dream boys come to life. A dead man’s diary names Bara a Clavigen and calls upon her to cage the evil. She must defeat the witch who has ensnared the Wisp in a piece of enchanted amber. Unfortunately, the dreams have not revealed all. Always watching, a demon waits to prey upon her young soul.
