They’d already been in the car for hours and … Continue reading Children of Two Worlds – 6.1
Chapter 5, Part 2 Mariah barely heard the radio call at 10 klicks.

She barely saw the tree-covered hills surrounding the narrow road. Her ears clogged … Continue reading Children of Two Worlds – 5.2

Images of Mariah’s limp form replayed over and over in Cassie’s numb mind. If she had been there, she could have helped. If she had called immediately, maybe they would … Continue reading Children of Two Worlds – 4.2
Chapter 4, Part 1 Cassie smelled the smoke and saw a dull red glow before she reached the apartments. She coaxed more speed from the motorcycle and skidded into the parking lot entrance with an ear-splitting squeal. Dr. Braxton and the others weren’t far behind. Cassie sat momentarily transfixed in horror at the scene before … Continue reading Children of Two Worlds – 4.1
