Thirteen Days To Midnight Book Novels & Stories

The weather has matched his mood perfectly for twenty-three days now. Twenty-three days. Twenty-three days since Flora's demise. Twenty-three days of this purgatory, watching her breathe but not live. "I brought you a good book you are gonna like," Lucas says, reaching into his messenger bag. He pulls out a dog-eared copy of *Pride and Prejudice*, its spine cracked from frequent reading. "I thought I might read to you again today. The nurses say that's good—that you might be able to hear me." He opens to where the bookmark indicates his progress and clears his throat.

The cabin lights gradually dimmed on their own, shifting from warm amber to a soft, intimate glow that made every shadow feel intimate. Elena glanced at her watch—barely past eleven. Eight long hours stretched ahead like a dare. Damien hadn’t moved from the armchair, but his presence filled the space more intensely in the lower light. She could feel his gaze tracing her every shift. The train’s steady rhythm vibrated through the floor, a constant, teasing reminder of motion and confinement.

Happy birthday to me. The long awaited day is here—December 21st. I’m finally eighteen. Unfortunately, I don’t feel any different today than I did yesterday. There was no midnight magic; no Power that miraculously appeared when the clock struck twelve. Yesterday was a completely uneventful day. We all stayed inside, hidden away while we waited. Pairs of Marines took turns watching Alcatraz, replaced every half hour so eyes and attention stayed fresh. No one reported seeing anything move on the island.

But every time I thought about how he died, I was in the middle of darkness, confused. I closed my eyes, I feel the water rushing through my skin and the tingling sensation of coldness. I was about to open my eyes when I heard gunshots in multiple directions. I stay still, I sharpen my senses and wait for what happens next. Many footsteps start to invade my ears, I continue swinging, not minding what will come after. Two people at four o'clock, six heavy footsteps at eleven while three other light footsteps are at two o'clock. The three light footsteps are getting near while the other changes its direction.

Too late for that, she mused. She was fairly engrossed in her book and did not realize the time. It was past midnight when she got up from her settee and felt fatigue in her eyes. She really did have a habit of not stopping at a book until it is finished. She is only a few short of the last three chapters, she realized. Now she was tempted to finish the book entirely, but reason won and she finally closed the book, and set it aside for the next day.

It was 11:45 and my fingers wouldn't stop fidgeting. No, not only my fingers, but my entire body. I was squirming in the chair and noisily tapping my fingers on the desk as I counted the minutes down to twelve midnight. I even willed myself not to blink because I couldn’t afford to lose this week’s online book auction on Stephen King’s The Shining. It’s a classic!

They didn't know they were watching a countdown. I walked over to the bed, collapsing onto the fur throws, still wrapped in the heavy black wool overcoat. I closed my eyes, the crackling of the fire sounding like the distant, echoing explosion of The Sovereign, counting down the hours until two in the morning.

As always. She's now seventeen and her life seems to run out of light. She prepared herself. Energetic or not, she has to make it to school before it's seven o'clock or else, her teacher will not be happy about it. She eats a simple breakfast, a peanut butter sandwich and a cup of instant coffee, she even saw a mice dart from behind the peanut butter jar. Not that she minds of course. She did before, but now, these critters were her only companions in her terribly dreary life. At last, after less than fifteen minutes, Kara is ready to get out of that dilapidated house and head out to where activity rules every nook and cranny of the bustling city. ****
