Malevolent (The Puzzle Box Series book 1)
“The world jolted, shattered, spun briefly through empty space--then crashed back together.
My body vibrated like a bell, and a ringing noise echoed in my head, like speaker feedback. I opened my eyes. I lay face down, and dirt crunched between my teeth. I lifted my head and moved my arms and legs. Everything worked, but I'd be sore later. Cautiously I sat up.
The explosion had kicked up a massive cloud of dust, and I couldn't even see the orchard twenty feet away. But nearby were the so...unds of scuffling feet, blows, grunts, and swearing. I was still so befuddled by the explosion that it was a while before I identified the noise--Mal and Robert were duking it out.
I coughed in the dust and wiped my eyes. The partial healing remained inside me, and I stood up with more strength than I'd had in days. But the marsh grass along the canal was brown and wilted. Was that supposed to happen?
A breeze cleared the dust.MoreLess
