A drive by posting for this. I’ve been so insanely busy that I haven’t been able to keep up with editing this story which is driving me nuts. So here is more of These Haunted Hills. The guys are at Lake Alma on a little island in the middle of the lake

Famous last words. Brendan wasn’t sure that he’d ever have Josh’s capacity for wandering the woods. He was a little bit bored. Josh wasn’t lying when he said there wasn’t much left out on the island. He couldn’t picture any of the things Josh had said was out there. It was all just trees now. “There doesn’t seem to be much left.”

“Not at all. We probably won’t see anything by eye.” Josh shrugged. “I thought you’d just enjoy seeing the locale. There is a little bit of history to be found online about this place if you wanted things contemporary to your own fictional hotel.”

“Yeah, glad we came out here. Pretty isolated,” Brendan said.

“A little.” Josh closed the distance between them. He slipped his arms around Brendan, drawing him in for a kiss.

Tender and slow the kiss drove all thoughts of the woods being boring from his mind. “What if the ghosts mind?” he asked afterwards.

Josh took a step back. “That’s a concern, actually. Something I should have remembered at the hotel. They can feed on strong emotion. They’re not known to be violent out here. We might want to behave at the hotel.?

“You and I need to sit down and talk about this habit of yours of telling me pertinent info after the fact.”
