"Are you here?" She asked eyes narrowed at me in question. "Yes ma'am" I answered briskly. "What was the last thing I said?" She asked not believing me, knowing obviously she was thinking of what she said I stole the idea from her thoughts.

she nodded again before he left the cell. All they can hear is silence until she decided to break it "My name is Kim Athena, I will be assisting your therapy sessions from now on" Silence.

Jack slowly slid his eye open while still rubbing his nose after taking a long sniff on the cocaine. “Prove it” Heat said handing me another full bottle of beer. I gave Jack a glance then at the full bottle of beer on Sin’s hand. “Prove it Sister Siren” Sin said in his hallow voice. “Unless you are lying to us” said Heat. “After all you are a woman.” I violently snatched the beer from his hand and opened it with my mouth and before I knew it the bottle was lying on the car seats empty. “Any doubts?” I asked while gasping for air.

I had selfishly chosen myself over the innocent child. "Kerry?" "Hm?" My eyes pried open. I had given up on pretending to be asleep after the first two hours. Silas had simply stated, in an unimpressed voice, how he could hear my heart beating faster; he knew when I was awake or not.

Instead, I reached for the “Sovereign’s Silence”—the deep, rhythmic stillness I had practiced during my clinical rotations when monitoring patients in deep, vegetative comas.
