IX A few minutes later, the scene at the McConnel house was one of defeat. Tersa’s parents were researching psychiatrists that she could go to, though they all thought it wouldn’t help.

VIII The interview took over an hour. Alex got up and began pacing around the room. Every minute that went by felt like an eternity. What could he be asking her? Does her believe her?

V Alex got into his car and drove down the road in the opposite direction from the one he came. He turned on to Smithfield Road and a moment later, turned on to Pleasant Hill Road.

IV Alex went to bed in his old room. The old posters and toys that he once played with were still where he’d left them. His mother had taken great care to make sure that everything was exactly as he remembered it. Clearly she’d expect him to come home at some point, though he had other plans. It was yet one more sin on … Read More Beneath the Surface: An Abandoned Story Chapter 4

III The wind nearly blew the old Cadillac off of the road. It pushed at the car as Alex struggled to keep it on the road. This is insane… I shouldn’t be out driving like this. He looked over to see Tersa shivering and rubbing her hands together. He immediately switched on the heat and adjusted it for her, “Put your hands under the … Read More Beneath the Surface: An Abandoned Story Chapter 3

II It took them over an hour to get out of Boston. Alex watched as the urban developement and large buildings gave way to trees and folliage. It was late and the sun was slowly disappearing behind the trees. By the time they arrived in Windsted, the clouds had begun rolling in. Out in the distance, Alex could see momentary flashes of light, … Read More Beneath the Surface: An Abandoned Story, Chapter 2
