A Lonely Magic
“She bolted, running for the trees as fast as she could.
The grass wasn’t grass, she realized, but a weedy flat ground cover. It wanted to tangle her bare feet, to capture her toes, but the sandy soil underneath it was soft and even, easy enough to run on. She was gasping by the time she reached the trees, lungs burning with exertion, but she caught herself on a tree trunk, stepping into its cover.
She looked back at the building. It extended in both directions for the length of a city b...lock, but it didn’t look like any jail or government building she’d ever seen. The walls were colorful, patterned in warm shades of yellow and orange and umber, while the building itself curved, roof and edges and walls, all flowing like waves or plants, like a mini and more fluid version of the Aqua Tower on Columbus Drive. Upper-story balconies had intricate metal railings and flowering plants, reminding her of pictures of New Orleans or Spain.
It was weird as hell.MoreLess
