Timepiece
“Lightning lit up the sky in a flash of blue-white, then was gone. It was followed by a crash of thunder, deafening, just overhead. A sudden cold wind sprang up and rushed over her, tugging her breath along with it. “William—” she gasped. “Here—” The wind tore the word away from her ears, as it had torn the breath from her throat. But he was right beside her, a vague source of warmth, and then a definite one as he pulled her closer. “I’m right here.” But where was “here?” Somehow, impossibly,... they were no longer in the orchard. The lightning flash had shown her not trees, but high brick walls. The wind carried with it not leaves, but sheets of paper, tumbling against her skirt and plastering themselves there. There was no second flash of lightning, but there was a second boom of thunder. It shook the ground under Elizabeth’s feet. And it shook the ground again. She couldn’t see, no matter how hard she tried, but she knew that there was something enormous coming toward her.MoreLess
