Blackout
“Whatever hopes Laura had of finding Alec were dashed within seconds of the avalanche. The air was suddenly so thick with dust that she could barely see two feet in front of her, and she was buffeted by rocks the whole way down.
She had to just ride it out, skittering and jumping in the loosening debris field as the whole face of the mountain collapsed. It was destruction like she’d never seen—it was Dan finally letting loose. Pure, unchecked devastation.
Laura could run ahead of it, her unnatur...ally strong legs able to balance on the tumbling mass of dirt, boulders, and trees. And when she got to the bottom, she dashed up the mountain on the other side. The avalanche crashed just below her, waves pounding into a rocky cliff. As she ran, splintered wood and shattered rock flew all around her.
She didn’t stop until she reached the next crest, and the rumbling, grinding earthquake behind her had come to a halt.
The view was choked with dust, and she couldn’t make out more than the dark scar that once had been covered with trees and vegetation.MoreLess
