Monday Muse...


There it was, the beacon, the way back to a world she understood.  Twenty steps, eighteen, sixteen...she was almost there...thirteen, eleven, nine...

"Tria, stop!  That is not the way."

"Yes, yes it is..."  seven, six...

"It is not but a phone."

"Bull, I stepped into that booth..." Tria pointed wildly at the rectangular box, lit up and calling to her. "...one week ago to call my Mother, but passed out before it rang through.  When I woke up, I was here...in a world without daylight and where the men aren't men at all.  They're..."  Monsters whispered inside of her head as she stared at the one she knew was as gentle as a lamb, but as cruel as death.

  1. I was thinking YA when I read your snippet... then I saw it as a tag. And I'm even into YA... so, it must be good!
