The Catch: a Novel
“Drowning in sand. Drowning in blood.
Munroe struggled for air.
Couldn’t find air. Move. Had to move. Turn from the blockage.
No arms. No legs. She fought for air. Found only sand. Only blood.
Suffocating.
Something seared into her side. Pushed. Rolled her over and her face was free and she found air.
Air.
She gasped. Sucked oxygen.
Pain reached into her chest and ripped out her organs.
A scream ricocheted through her body.
Hand to the knife. The knife.
There was no knife.
A shadow, a face, a bo...dy above her against the night.
She struggled for the knife, but there was no knife, and darkness washed over her and she was gone again.
WORDS. MAYBE WORDS. English words. Reaching to her, calling to her.
We are friend. We are friend. We are Sami friend.
Sifting. Rising. Falling. Hands reaching.
She fought to keep the hands away. Feeble attempts from arms no longer connected to her body.
She couldn’t move.
The knife, where was the knife? Couldn’t find her hands.
Try to crawl. Try to turn.
The night sky screamed again, rained acid tears, burned.MoreLess
