      Rite of Passage

      ––––––––

      The runaways huddled together in darkness at the back of the barn, five miles away from freedom and moments from death. Dorothy, the youngest, was crushed against the splintered wood while the other six hid her from the patrollers, the mournful howls of the hound dogs growing louder with each second. Twice during their flight to freedom Dorothy wished she’d stayed at the plantation. Once, when they got lost in the Dismal swamp, again when Old Ben got shot and died up around Setter's Point.

A necklace gripped his thick neck, sharp teeth threaded together with leather cord. In the center
