Brake

Dark. Cold.
My darkness faded into more darkness. I rolled to my side, the cold from the hard floor seeping through my thin clothes. I wanted to escape the cold, to escape the brutally uncomfortable surface beneath me, but small movements were all I could muster.
Only my most primitive functions worked. My adrenal gland pumped chemicals through my body, heating me with terror and the drive to flee, but the chemical-induced fog in my brain left me helpless.
I remembered my text conversation with Aiden.
Tank and Devlin appearing in Colt's house.
Colt's last words came to me… Stay alive.
That was exactly what I wanted to do.
But that drive wouldn't last long.

★ All Sins of Ashville works contain dark elements, themes, or situations that may be triggering for some readers, so proceed with that in mind. A full list of trigger warnings can be found near the table of contents in the sample. The heroes and heroines (or anti-hero and anti-heroines, as the case may be) must fight and sacrifice for their survival and happy endings. If you're looking for rainbows and sweet nothings, Ashville is not the place for you, but if you want to explore the nature of human resilience and emotional extremes, jump in and enjoy the ride.
