Chains of Ice

With any luck at all, once he was done today, it would be another two years before he repeated the experience.How odd that she had known he was watching her. Did she possess that small, extrasensory knowledge some ordinary humans enjoyed, or was she gifted, too?John would have protested that God could not be so cruel.But he already knew that wasn’t true. Go...d was cruel beyond all conception. God tormented a man, broke his heart and his will, and then sent someone like Genny to dangle hope like a diamond on a platinum chain.No. No, John refused to hope.Yet Genny said she felt his sorrow.What did she mean?

That put them eye to eye, and he stared at her, compelling her to tell him the truth.MoreLess
