Every insecurity I had ever known since meeting Owen came rushing back as the rush of blood drowned out everything except my heart beating loudly in my ears. I watched as Mr. Hanson’s mouth moved and in the recesses of my mind, I could hear the echo of his big, booming voice but couldn’t comprehend a single word he said. Whatever it was, the blond bombshell standing in front of us only had eyes for one person and it wasn’t our history teacher.

Cora leaned against the weathered wooden doorframe. The alcohol made the lanterns along the cobblestone path blur into soft halos of light. She reached out to catch raindrops from the eaves. The cold water shocked her fingertips. Suddenly, an orange wall lamp lit up around the corner. A gate covered in climbing roses stood slightly open. A small sign reading 'Rain Listening Courtyard' hung above the entrance, gleaming from the rain. Cora stumbled through the gate. She heard the sound of dishes clinking from behind some hydrangea bushes.

She wrote about silence, the language of killers. About the way empires rot from within long before they fall from without. She wrote about the weight of a name. Of survival. Of trust sold at gunpoint. Of brothers lost in smoke and sisters buried beneath blood. This wasn't a lullaby. This was war scripture. The second entry in The Book of Blood. And she meant every word. ~~~~~~~~~~ GHOST MOUTH — DAWN Lorenzo stood barefoot in the tide, shirt open, smoke curling from the end of a thin black cigarillo. Behind him, Roji and Inez oversaw the

My thoughts had promised me strength, but in that moment, I realized I was more fragile than I had imagined. Pushing my thoughts aside, I entered, sliding into the empty chair across from him. “Sorry I’m late,” I murmured. He glanced at me, a fleeting glance that didn't even last a second. No reaction from him, not even an acknowledgement. He just continued with what he was doing as if he didn't see me. As if I hadn’t even spoken at all. April glanced between us, her eyebrows raised. “We were just reviewing the skeleton for the book festival. We have less than two weeks.”

“I don’t sleep much.” I should have stepped back, but I didn’t. The room seemed smaller with him in it, the walls pressing in as if to keep us close. He reached past me, plucking a worn leather-bound volume from the shelf. “This one,” he said, setting it on the table, “is worth losing sleep for.” It was an old history text, its pages brittle, the ink faded. He didn’t open it right away—just stood there, one hand resting on the cover, his gaze locked on me like he was searching for something.

“You are our dawn.” The weight of their faith settled into her bones. She drew a deep breath, straightening her shoulders, pushing away the tremor of doubt that threatened to unravel her. “Gather them,” she said finally, her voice carrying new steel. “All of them. They deserve to hear it with their own ears.” The courtyard filled with the survivors of war.

One might think that it was hidden extra deep, since it could not be found at first and even second glance. Godric reached for the hidden treasure and pulled the book out from among all the others. It was a small, almost crumbled book. The book cover testified to a long time and when Godric opened it, a cloud of dust came towards him. A cough left his throat and he wondered how long this book had been down here. The pages looked old and cracked, the writin

Her sleep was dreamless until she entered the wolf's hour, inviting her deepest fears back into her mind—the hour between night and dawn when most people die, sleep is the most profound, and nightmares are the most real. Minnow was back in the playground, lying on the wet slimy nature floor. A man was moving his heavy body on top of her suffocating her with his weight. The stranger grunted and moaned in her ear, leaving the side of her face warm and damp from his laboured breaths in the cold night air. Her sex burned like a sharp glowing iron mercilessly and endlessly pierced it. Her core stretched and ripped apart from the ruthless thrust from the man's firm hips.

The atmosphere of the island was serene and warm, despite the nearness of the sea and the lightness of swimwear. — At the center of the square There stood a massive book, bound in dark brown leather. Its pages were thick, as if made to bear the heaviest of emotions. It lay open to a blank page. This was the Book of the Lovers’ Remembrance.
