Throwback Thursday Excerpt Edition - Of Cinder and Madness
A little snippet from Of Cinder and Madness:
Shoving aside my doubt, cloaking myself in my fear, I remove the key from my pocket.At once, her eyes flash with understanding, a flicker of an emotion, fear of her own or maybe acceptance. Then her birds swoop toward me as one massive swarm. I barely have time to close the door and lock it before they slam against it. Thud, thud, thud.A minute passes and then another, and I lean against the heavy locked door with my eyes closed. It’s done. She’s barred. She’s too far up. Her birds never leave her side for long, and only one at a time at that. We’ll be fine now. We’ll be safe.I hope.I pray.
I fear.
