If I had the time, I would have picked the three up by reading them all, but I must return back to my room before Talon’s arrival if I was not ready to witness his wrath again. My eyes shunned on the pure silver book. It looked extraordinary and unique. There was something attractive about it—maybe the color or the context. As I picked up the silver book, a chill ran down my spine. The pages were filled with cryptic messages and eerie illustrations. But one passage in particular caught my attention.

Her painting book. She didn’t touch it for weeks. She slowly approached it and the page which caught her eyes was Becca’s face painted in the book. Chloe’s hand trembled from seeing that face. It’s a pencil sketch of Becca’s face. Becca has a fierce look in that drawing. Who drew this picture when she didn’t touch it for weeks? She didn’t even take that book to school.

Yeah, he'd learned to practice patience, but dealing with the police while they questioned Betty had just about driven him to the edge of reason. He opened the car door for her, holding her elbow as she climbed in. Daylight had waned, and the parking garage was dimly lit, the sound of other hospital visitors echoing through the cement structures. Betty listened for other things. Furtive footballs on the pavement. The click of a gun safety being released. The slide of fabric or the soft huff is a breath. Someone had tried to kill Dan just a few weeks ago, and there was no reason to believe that person would be content to let him live. The road went quiet as he stepped around the car. The soun

The blonde beauty sipped on her morning coffee while reading Seattle Daily, Downing the rest of her liquid drug in one huge gulp, she tied up her long blonde curls into a bun at the top off her head while sighing, two missing billionaires tofind and a murder case to solve, just another day at the office.

The air smells of paper and wood. Comforting. Familiar. A warmth spreads inside me. I love reading. Always have. Without thinking, I move toward the shelves, my fingers gliding across the spines of books. Titles blur past until one section catches my eye. ‘Sci-fic’ A small spark lights inside me. I step onto the platform, reaching up for a book. As I open it, my eyes skim the page, already slipping into another world. Then— Something shifts. A scent. Strong.

Doing my best not to disturb her, I removed the book from her hands. It’s titled, Sorcery in Science: old magic for modern medicine. Looking briefly at the pages, it seemed this book was equal parts lore and logic, and explained scientists and doctors experimenting with the supernatural in order to test ancient prophecies and myths. I recalled last night’s dream with a twinge of pain. An odd book choice, even for Mira. As I examined the tome, Mira stirred and noticed her hands were empty. Her eyes went wide as she saw I as looking through the book.

Furniture overturned, books scattered, and in the centre of the living room, a young woman with copper hair sat bound to a chair, very much alive but gagged with what appeared to be silver silk. "Kayla," Casie breathed, immediately moving forward. "Wait." Nathaniel's hand on her arm stopped her progress. "This is too easy. The Sparrow doesn't leave witnesses."

Anonymous mentioned old sci-fi books in passing, referencing a classic series about rogue AIs and lost space colonies. Anonymous: That series is underrated. The way the characters question everything in those abandoned worlds… hits different on nights like this. Leon paused, thumb freezing mid-air. He actually liked that exact series.
