Stall 2 Novels & Stories

Disoriented and ancient and blinking in the dark like things that have been asleep for a very long time. Then Stella sat down on the ancient ground. Pressed her hand flat against it. Closed her eyes. And the corruption frequency in the site changed. A specific voluntary modulation. The frequency of something being prepared for resolution rather than resisting it. She was helping.

He moved with his usual quiet presence, his footsteps a series of soft exclamation points in the still air. He stopped before the shelf, tilting his head slightly as if listening to a voice no one else could hear. His hand drifted to a rough panel of driftwood he carried. A single nail protruded from the wood, catching the light like a lone idea. Instead of hanging it, he set it gently on the shelf, letting it lean, uncommitted. He didn’t speak.

The guard at the back seat asked to open the fire but Myra stood still and waited for some time. A blue dot appeared on the screen of the device kept in the car. She looked at the screen and smiled. Another blue dot appeared. After a few seconds the increasing number of blue dots was enough to bring a full smile on her face.

Something strange and addictive rushed through me. “You need to stay here, Eila.” I stared at his half-open lips. Thoughts I didn’t want flooded my head as I lost my breath. I whispered in pain, “I know you feel it too, Marcus… You’re my mate.” I shook my head, not believing what I heard from my own mouth. He glared at me, deadly serious. “Stop spitting nonsense.” “You don’t believe me?” I shoved him hard enough to slip away, but before I reached the door, Marcus caught me, pinning me against the wall.
