Destiny Kills (2008)
“The moonlight flooding in through the dusty glass was as cold and as distant as I felt deep inside.
But through the hush of the night came the call of the sea.
It was a call I could not disobey.
I unlatched the French doors and walked out into the cold night. Paving gave way to grass, then grass to sand as I made my way though the overgrown gardens and onto the path I’d spotted earlier.
The wind swirled around me, sharp with the scent of the sea, tugging at my hair and at the hem of my T-shirt,... as if trying to hurry me along. I all but ran down the path, my speed making my shoulder ache, and yet the ache getting lost in a growing sense of urgency. Fear even.
I had to get down to the sea. Had to.
I scrambled down the old steps that lined the cliff face, the occasional loose stone digging into my feet but causing no pain. The night had once again stolen such sensory details, leaving my skin cold and, for the moment, unfeeling. Leaving me the same.
I strode out across the sand. Waves rushed toward me, reaching with foamy fingers for my toes.MoreLess
