Out of the Dark (Light & Dark #1)
“#13. It’s always the little things.
The barn burns to almost nothing. Small pops and explosions can be heard as it collapses in upon itself and the monsters fry in the sun. Their deathly smell hangs in the air like toxic fumes, and I encourage us to begin our walk. The daylight won’t last forever, and the stench of their bodies will no doubt attract others if they are hungry enough when night comes.
We walk, placing one foot in front of the other. Our steps are timid, almost, quiet in... the now equable daylight. I watch our shoes, dirty and worn, moving over and over, disturbing the dusty road that we walk upon. We don’t speak. There are no words for or from either of us. Our fingers are wrapped around each other’s, and those are the only silent words that we need. We are here, together, once more. So we walk. The minutes tick by, the hours drift past, and we don’t stop.
The sun is warm, sweat clings to our skin, trickles down my face and into my eyes.MoreLess
