Midnight Secrets
“Her daily torture session—a one-hour walk. It had to be done. If she didn’t grit her teeth and force herself to go out, she’d never leave the house.
Staying in her house forever. It scared her that the thought didn’t scare her.
The wind was as raw as she felt. She had three layers under her down coat but the wind made her shiver anyway. Probably because of the exhaustion. It had been another horrible, sleepless night. Just like the night before and the night before that and like tomorrow night ...would be. She hadn’t had one decent night’s sleep since the Massacre.
The night she lost her whole family, the night she lost everything.
Don’t think about it. Her daily—hourly—mantra.
Don’t think about Mom or Dad. Or Teddy or Rob. Or—God!—Jack. There hadn’t been anything found of Jack to bury.
Don’t think about her aunts and uncles and cousins—all gone. Her tribe—gone.
In a moment she could remember only in her nightmares, her life had been swept away and what was left was the husk—a shell of a woman who couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep, could barely walk.MoreLess
