Beyond the Pale -Part 16

Still on track for day three of august_writing although I'm not sure how I managed, given that I had no time whatsoever to write until I got home about two hours ago. Guess that's what happens when you actually know where your story is supposed to go. That's never happened to me before. ;)

Hope you're still enjoying my humble offering. :)
