Chapter 1: Walking in HellThe wind did not just blow outside; it roared like a star-crazed beast. Through my paper-thin, torn coat, the sub-zero ice crystals sliced into my face like shattered glass. I threw my body over my daughters, pressing my chest flat against theirs as we hit the hard, frozen snow.Behind us, the massive titanium door of the subterranean bunker slammed shut with a heavy, final thud."No! No, please! Carousel!" I shrieked, my throat raw and bleeding as I scrambled back onto my hands and knees.The snow under me was already stained with my own blood. Just moments ago, inside the heated sanctuary of the bunker, the very shelter I had spent millions of my late parents' inheritance to build, Carousel, my lovely husband had grabbed me by my hair.
