The Dark Lady
“He had been certain nothing could be worse than watching the blood pour from Hamilton’s body, his friend’s eyes wide, panicked . . . betrayed.
He’d been mistaken.
With every step he took, his understanding of horror altered. He had not even known what it was. He’d assumed it was dead men, their bodies ripped apart. This place changed all that.
He struggled for air. If the oppressive nature of the hellhole was any indication, the body was nothing compared to the soul. And the walls of this asylu...m seemed to shudder with the souls of destroyed innocents.
This was horror in all its destructive glory.
Worse than this realization was the growing knowledge that his guilt had not let him return sooner. Because of pride, he’d condemned Eva to damnation. Even one day sooner would have been better to take her from this place.
He swallowed, trying to rid himself of the acrid taste of misery that drifted in the very air about him.
Nothing was as it should be any longer.
Even doors were no longer doors.MoreLess
