Summary: It’s just fog … isn’t it? Response to
castle100 challenge fear.
The fog swirls around them, cutting them off from the world.
“I’ve read stories,” Castle whispers. (He doesn’t whisper, but the sound is leeched from his voice.) “Where people drift through realities when they get caught in fog like this.”
“This isn’t a story, Castle.” Beckett says uncertainly. The hesitancy in her voice emphasizes her nascent fear, and unconsciously she draws closer to the writer.
Eerie white stillness lurks beyond their tiny patch of asphalt.
Later, Beckett shrugs the feeling off as an overactive imagination. (Wasn't her apartment building brown before?) She looks forward to discussing it with her mother.
