Lilith Simon

A month after the pumpkin soup, I was rummaging : (1)  through our desk drawers to find the money I had stashed : (2) years ago in case of an emergency. I wanted to buy my wife a gift. That’s when I found the leather-bound journal. I didn’t know : (3) whom it belonged to and how it got there so I opened it and saw my wife’s name written on the very first page. I closed it and put it back, then I noticed that a small note had fallen out of it. I picked it up and read the name “Lilith Simon”. I knew everyone in our village and I was certain that this Lilith person wasn’t from around here. I turned the note around and saw a map drawn that lead to a small village about an hour away from ours. I had never been there, and only heard stories about the people that lived there. Most of the stories were exaggerated, that I knew, but I couldn’t help feeling a sense of fear that arose from the thought of Cobweb Meadow. I had to find out who Lilith is, and why my wife had directions to her house.

I told my wife I was going on a hunting trip that same day, and would be back later in the evening. I set off to Cobweb Meadow, prepared for the worst. I had a pistol in my duffel bag that I hoped I wouldn’t have to use.
