Book Cover & Preview Text
I heard a snap behind me. Behind the tree. It crackled in my ears and soon conformed to the drone of outdoor life. Turning my head, I spotted light, a flicker of flames. Floating. A floating flame?
Standing up I continued to watch the light source sway slightly, as if it were being carried. A soft shuffling of footsteps followed the light, approaching the tree I stood under. Feeling as if I were hiding, I stepped from behind the tree, glancing toward the moving glow of what reminded me of firelight.
I tried to make out the figure holding the light. The mystery of it compelled me to look closer. Beyond the glow a quick breath escaped the life source. My curiosity grew in the dark, suspense causing me to hold my breath. I was about to take another step, suddenly feeling an exploding pain at the back of my skull.
Everything tilted, slightly at first, uprooting from the ground. The tree beside me fell away. I swear, color accompanied the cry that broke through the darkness. Everything faded to black, leaving only one thought in my mind.
