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?

She turned and looked at Alex, “Father … Read More Beneath the Surface: An Abandoned Story Chapter 8

VII “Alex…” “What, who is that? What’s going on?” Alex found himself in a dark room, all alone. He had no idea how he had gotten there or why. A dark voice beckoned him forward.

VI Alex didn’t see Tersa again during the next few days. He didn’t mind though. He took it as a good sign that most likely she was getting the care that she needed. Besides, he had his own family’s issues to deal with. His mother’s wake had all been paid for an arranged. It was a true testament to her character to see … Read More Beneath the Surface: An Abandoned Story Chapter 6
