Bridge Of Sighs Novel Novels & Stories

River wind rushed toward us, heavy with damp air. The torn steel bars at the edge of the broken bridge pointed at the sky like claws. The driver collapsed over the steering wheel and cried. "It's over... it's all over! I risked my life for that little bit of money!" I ignored his breakdown. I pushed open the door and walked to the edge of the broken bridge. The river below was fast and bottomless. The toxic fog was less than two miles away. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

Corners that smelled like old stone and somebody’s cooking drifting out from a window above. I kept waiting for him to explain where we were going. He didn’t. I kept waiting for it to feel strange, walking beside him through a city like two normal people. It felt strange. But not in the way I expected. We came out onto a small bridge eventually. Nothing remarkable about it from the outside. Old stone, green water below, buildings on both sides with washing lines strung between windows. A cat on a ledge watching us like we were mildly disappointing. Ciro stopped in the middle of the bridge.

The way he had looked at me across the dinner table when I asked if destroying the Cross name would give him what he was looking for and he had said I used to think so and then looked at me and said nothing. He looked at me like that. And said: “I have not decided what I want it to look like.” Simple sentence. I heard everything underneath it. The sitting room was very quiet except for the fire. He was still looking at me. Not the professional look. Not the controlled assessment. The one underneath all of those. The one I had been cataloguing for fifteen months and had never fully named because naming it required naming what it meant. Then I forgot to breathe. Literally. The specific physica

“Can we proceed? Is everything as it was?” It takes every inch of self-possession not to look up at the window. Is Cass somewhere watching me choose her sister over her again? Then I see how her Betas are scowling at the mud covered town, judging our basic buildings. Pride in my pack surges forward. Even though it hurts I force myself to be humble before their needs. “The bridge is down. Permanently. From now.”

We ran through empty alleys and empty streets, driven by sheer desperation, until, at last, we reached the safety of the inside of a ruined, crumbling-over bridge. Cassie's breath hitched, exhaustion creasing her full, voluptuous figure as she braced against the dripping stone wall. Her breasts heaved, outlining the inviting curves beneath her torn blouse. My own chest constricted as I breathed in her desperation, duty landing on my shoulders. "You're alright?" I whispered, inching closer to her. I stroked her pale pink cheek with one hand, searching her face for some sign of trauma or injury. She nodded weakly, her eyes wide as she gazed at me. "I am afraid, Jeffery,"

“But focus. If your heart wavers, it will collapse.” I nodded and spread my hands. A golden glow spread from my palms, forming into a narrow bridge of light. It shimmered softly, stretching across the dark river. Hardin whistled. “Beautiful… and terrifying.” “Let’s move before it fades,” I said. Alvina went first, then Hardin, then me. The bridge hummed under our steps, glowing brighter with each heartbeat. Halfway across, Hardin suddenly froze. “Wait… did you hear that?”

"And your beautiful bridge will join the old and the new parts of the City." Her gaze is intense. Layers of meaning? "Do I detect a philosophical edge to that?" She takes my hand. "You've been my bridge between the Old and the New." And you have been mine, Jade.... But I don't speak the words. Instead, I cup her cheek, kissing her softly. Enough already.... Where is he? ***** MICHAEL I see them, as James had said, down by the river at the site of the new bridge. What on earth's she wearing?

Her lungs were burning. It would’ve been so easy to just close her eyes and lie down, to just wait for whatever came next to envelop her and pull her from this world. She knew The Bridge was a made-up story meant to make little girls feel more hopeful about their prospects when they were being murdered. But there had to be something after this, didn’t there? Rain had a feeling she was about to find out. Her eyelids were heavy as the smoke continued to coat her insides. Mist was sprawled beside her, not choking, not even moving. Rain wasn’t even sure if she was breathing anymore.

It looks like I’m stuck here forever. I wanted to open the door, but you must pull it. That means I should walk near the edge to do that. I can always cross the bridge, but I ain’t doing that. Just then, I flew. I screamed when Vaughn threw me over his shoulders and crossed the bridge. I started ugly crying because the bridge sways too much and I can only see Vaughn’s legs, the bridge, and the violent waters below.
