A Gift from the Goddess

Chapter 111 Book 2 Chapter 3

Book Two – Ch.#3

Darkness… Darkness, a damp surface and an overwhelming metallic taste greeted me. 

I knew what it was before I even opened my eyes, my last memories immediately reminding me to what had happened. Or, at least, what had happened before I’d lost consciousness. Shaking, I pulled my exhausted body upright to see the damage for myself. … To see the massacre

Crawling along the ground, I began searching for the burner phone I’d concealed on my person earlier. I knew it would most likely be wherever my clothes had been torn to shreds but prayed it hadn’t been broken during the lapse.
