Isabella’s Airman
“I blinked and tried to process the noise. The skies are falling. My heart, already racing, hammered against my ribs so hard that it hurt. Lifting my head from Davy’s chest, I clenched my fingers around his jacket, and he wrapped his arms tight around me. He leaned forward to cover my head.
“What’s happening?” I didn’t know if he’d hear me over the noise.
He didn’t have time to reply.
Boom. The crash was right overhead.
I screamed, my ears hurting from the blast. Oh God, oh God, we’d been bombed.... Common sense fled. I shrieked like a little girl and clung to Davy. My first thought had been correct—the sky was falling in. Dust and dirt rose in waves, filling my nostrils and caking my mouth, even as I faced into Davy. I felt him tense. Dear Lord, part of the ceiling had collapsed.
The sudden quiet was only a fleeting relief. Had I gone deaf? My lungs were so tight I couldn’t draw breath. The dust that lined my throat made me want to retch. I’d fallen into hell. I didn’t want to look.MoreLess
