31 days of terror - Day 12: The Swarm

Day 12 –

The Swarm

Nature hates us, and no wonder! She bites back in a big way, taking over sea creatures both great and small to take humans out of the play. We’ve had it coming. Life came from the sea; so will our death.

“The sly look on her face that usually foretold some malicious comment was now a constant on her flushed face, her rounded corners and soft edges puffy and bloated. She never was a good drunk, Leah thought”

“First there was an interview with the governor of the prison, a surprisingly dainty little woman who put Freya in mind of a bird of prey - intense, focused, but easily startled”
