Story Excerpt
I stretch, exploring the feel of skin sliding over muscle. My shoulders roll—smooth, strong, and responsive. The child’s memories are less fluid. She’s a fighter and slows the flow between our consciousnesses to a trepid trickle. No matter. I’ve time to learn in this empty room. Glass grinding underfoot, I turn to the mirror.
She’s young, but older than I’d hoped for. Taking her would probably have been impossible in just a scattering of days. Leaning forward, I stare into dark eyes, willing her knowledge out.
A knock raps on the door.
