Summary

1 Reviews | 7 pages | 2 years ago | Draft 1
Scott, an ambitious young man, is hiking in the woods with his friend Holly in search of snail shells and deer antlers for her mother's pottery. They part ways in opposite directions to cover more ground, with Holly warning Scott to stay away from a woodland bridge. Curiosity gets the better of Scott. He goes to the bridge and encounters an eccentric and mysterious Magician who holds him captive. The Magician gives Scott a test: retrieve his wand and silver key from a cave by the bridge. Should he fail or refuse, he'll be turned into a deer.
