Night Terrors (Sarah Beauhall book 4)
“Both times I had to pee. Mary made me drink a godawful amount of Pedialyte to keep my electrolytes up. I’d been gone several days and I was famished when I finally got up. I ate triple helpings and then slept for another seven hours. After that, I seemed to be over the worst of it.
I spent the next two days caving at Circle Q just trying to get my shit together. Mary had wanted to take me to the hospital, but when I protested, Julie just told her to let it go. I didn’t talk much during those tw...o days, just sat with them, being a family. Jai Li drew a dozen pictures of me in that time, each one lighter and happier. It was like each drew some of the dark from me, lightening my spirit.
I didn’t know how I felt about things. The Bowler Hat Man was out there still. I don’t think I killed him. Hell, for that matter, I don’t think I killed the eaters. I wasn’t sure they existed like that. I think they manifested themselves from the pain and misery of our lives and dispelling them, perhaps, lightened the load on the rest of us.MoreLess
