Hush's Keep

Henry's screams eventually stopped, like all of the children before him, and like all of the children after him. Sometimes, the Bloomville teens parked on Lover's Lane at night while the radio hums can hear the screams of the forgotten children whispering against the wind from the forest. And as the train passes by tiny Bloomville, piloted by two engineers on that lonely stretch of rail outside of town, those trapped souls reach out their hands for a ride into oblivion, never to board.

Hush's keep is a short story about the pitfalls of childhood trust.
