Summary
Something was dreadfully wrong.
Alastor’s heart thumped in his chest as he watched the muzzle of the gun flash, the bullet cracking from it in slow motion. He saw himself, his eyes catching the beam of the flashlight shining his way – and what was a hunter even doing out this late? At this time of year?
Everything was exactly as he remembered it. The gentle glow of fireflies buzzing in the air, scattering as that gun exploded in the night; the smell of mud and rotting vegetation, warm where moisture pooled in the hollows of tree trunks and his own footprints. He heard his own sharp intake of breath, saw himself freeze – and urged himself to move. To fling himself down into the mud and save his skin, because it had been less than a week since he’d secured his future in the afterlife, but he didn’t want that afterlife to start now.

This isn't where Alastor is meant to be. This isn't what he wants to witness - not again. But how can he find his way out of the tangled thorns of his own worst nightmares?
