The Withered Series (Book 1): Wither
“It itches as it dries, tugging at the hairs on my arms. A stack of orange car waxing cloths lie in a stained puddle at my feet. A window sun shield lies over Victoria’s body. I try not to think of her final moments, the fear I’d seen in her eyes. The way she gasped for breath as blood bubbled between her lips.
I feel numb, thinking of Alex’s tears and pleading for her to hang on. Cable applied pressure to the wound, but he was wrong. She hadn’t just been stabbed. She’d been gutted. When I’d ...arrived at her side, I had slid right into a tangle of intestines. Alex was beside himself as he clung to Victoria, holding her head in his lap. She’d tried to speak, but words failed her. It didn’t take long for the life to fade from her eyes. At least we have that to be thankful for.
I glance up at the sound of rattling and peer through the dark to see Cable working relentlessly to reinforce the doors. The chains may keep the door frame itself closed, but they will just come in through the glass.MoreLess
