14 reviewsThis wasn’t the way she wanted to die.
Every muscle screaming, Cora Strand swam toward the shore through a viscous, muddy swamp. Oily blackness and green slime clung to her whole body, and it felt like a slow suffocation. But no matter what she did, she couldn’t seem to make it to the distant, gray, mist-shrouded beach. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the more she swam, the deeper she sank. The swamp, like liquefied quicksand, sucked her under, inch by inch.
Through all her swimming, all her efforts, she repeated these words: “It’s only a dream. Only a dream. Only a nightmare.”
Muscles ached. Lungs burned. She swam faster and harder but she couldn’t escape the gooey gunk that pulled her down, down, down. Tugged her deeper into the abyss.
She couldn’t afford to let it pull her completely under because then it would be game over. She knew without a doubt she wouldn’t resurface, even as some part of her psyche told her it was a dream.
She had to escape the darkness.
Just stop fighting. Just…let go… Something inside of her whispered the words and she was tempted to listen. If she stopped fighting, and sank into it, then she would be at peace forever.
“Cora.” The smooth masculine voice was only vaguely familiar to her.
And with the voice, that same fear strangled her. Death seemed to reach for her from the swamp.
Cora sucked in a sharp breath.
Open. Open my eyes…
Her lashes fluttered as she forced her lids slowly up.
Deep, piercing blue eyes stared at her. She knew those eyes—that gaze didn’t miss a thing.
