The Moon Chose Me Twice

The Void Stone doesn't hum. It screams.
It is a silent, psychic shriek that vibrates in the marrow of my bones, a frequency designed to unmake us.
I sit in the passenger seat of the hijacked transport truck, my knees pulled up to my chest, fighting the urge to vomit.
"Easy," Kaleb grunts.
He’s wrestling the wheel like it’s a living thing trying to kill us.
The truck is massive, armored, and top-heavy, and we’re driving it up a logging trail that hasn't seen a vehicle since the nineties.
