Chapter: Faint RumblesAlmost as soon as I was in the hallway, Daniel’s decision to leave the company because of his addiction flowed across my mind. I was disappointed in him, not because of his addiction but because he wanted to leave the company.It reminded me about how different our lives when I hit rock bottom I had no fancy place to retreat to or anyone in my corner to help me through it, well not until I met Sarah anyways.An unrecognizable feeling slithered up my back, one that I couldn’t even begin to give a name to. Standing by the elevator waiting I looked out on the horizon allowing my mind to drift to another memory best forgotten.I had been in this rat hole for almost eight months and it felt as though nothing was getting better. I had managed to get a job and continue my university classes b

Chapter: Grey CloudsBy the time I extricated myself from Sarah’s latest obsessive yammering about Diego, her new salsa teacher, it was close to 6:00 am. I couldn’t help but chuckle as the elevator doors closed. I knew Sar, she may complain about him now but, odds were that she would be riding him by the end of the week. I could practically hear the conversation that was coming.“Hey boo, so aahmm you know that salsa instructor I’ve been talking about?” A devilish smile would stretch across my face, “you mean Diego?” Her voice would be contrite, and her eyes would roam my apartment as if she hadn’t seen it before.“Um yea that one. Well, you see… I was getting extra lessons from him, and one thing led to another, and before I knew it, we were doing a horizontal salsa.” I would laugh until my belly bottom hur

Chapter: The Sun Always RisesThe dark silky tendrils of sleep slipped from my eyes even as I desperately tried to hold on to it by squeezing my eyes closed. Two years later, and though I was no longer on shelter time my body refused to sleep past 5 a.m. After only three hours of sleep, I was wide awake, and my exhausted mind was screaming in defiance.I spent a few more minutes with my eyes closed before sighing in defeat, rolling to the left, and slowly peeling them open to stare out my windows. A blanket of darkness greeted me seconds before a flash of lightning lit up the sky. Then the heavens opened and poured out its sadness.I love living in Texas but when I moved here I only thought about the warm weather and sun-kissed summer glow I had seen in others. I never paused to consider the other seasons or the possibility that it could get cold yet these days the weather was a mix

Chapter: The Spy DoctorRebecca Triton watched with baited eyes as the young girl she had been reading about for the last four years was wheeled into the laboratory. She looked so human that a very small part of her mind pricked with guilt. She knew what was coming next and it was not going to be pleasant.

Chapter: Caught“She promised! Damn it! She promised!” That was all I could think as I watched the morning sunrise through the hotel window. It was close to eight hours and I had yet to hear anything from Nikki although she promised to call me as soon as she arrived at Dr. Wilson’s. Worse, she and her parents’ numbers kept going to voicemail. As hours dragged by, the fear in my heart grew until I couldn’t draw a full breath.Poor Aria, my little baby was feeding off my crappy energy and had been fussy since wa

Chapter: The Trap ClassesI watched with apprehension as Mrs. Winspere approached Nicolette, her eyes glistening once again. “Nikki, oh my dear, I wish I had good news, but your father and I are at a loss. Your test results are beyond us. We have come up with a way to stabilize your remaining cells and make them harder to die, but, they will die my dear.We shouldn’t give up hope though. There is a doctor who specializes in rare genetic diseases. She is the best of the best. Your dad had a brillian

Chapter: Willingly Stepped in the FireEverything happened so quickly that it left my mind spinning. The man and woman I remembered from my childhood had was different. I mean they looked the same, but the shame, guilt, and a little bit of hope that rolled across their faces invariably were new. I had never seen any expression but contempt on my mother’s face when it came to me but now there was so much I was frozen. I didn’t know what to think.

Chapter: I Walked Into HellAria’s weak cry pulled me awake. My eyes flew open and I quickly snatched my goddaughter from the hands of her snoring mother. Glancing out the window, I was surprised to see the familiar gas tank near Logan airport. We would be landing in Boston in just a few minutes.
