I have three teasers that I’ve been saving for this last post, but now that we’re this close I can’t post them.
Because I wrote the story, I know everything that happens, and sometimes I forget that others have no idea what’s going to happen. These three teasers are my favorite parts of the book, but they would be pretty big spoilers, and that’s just not fun.
So here’s a spoiler-free teaser:
I sit back on the couch, watching the static on the TV. When did my life get like this? When did it get to the point where every minute I’m terrified something is going to happen, or someone I love is going to get hurt?
At what point did darkness encompass my life so fully that I’m constantly looking for those little beams of light? How did I not realize how dark it’s become?
The answer to that is one I’ve known for awhile but have been too terrified to accept.
It’s not my life that’s losing light.
It’s me that’s getting used to the darkness. Once you get used to it, you don’t need light anymore.
That scares me more than anything.
I lie down on the couch and wonder if Dad knew what he was doing when he built the mirror. He took the stone so it wouldn’t cause death, but that’s all it’s brought into my life.
6 more days!!
