A Halloween 2021 Contest Entry
A short Halloween story with a bit of paranormal stuff thrown in. Takes place in the American Southwest a few years back perhaps. A first story for me.

Donald Finney is a soldier stationed in H-Space, a newly discovered dimension adjacent to our own.

All it would require... was a sacrifice. (Author's Note: followers of the God of Abraham may find this tale annoying)
