Teaser
Chapter One - Lightning and Bubble Wrap:
A flash of lightning criss-crossed the sky that made people stop and look up. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky and, more unusually, no thunder followed. Katie pointed the phone to where they had witnessed the last bolt just as another flash crackled overhead and once again there was no thunder.

“What the hell is going on?” said Katie to no one in particular just as another flash ripped across the sky. Only this time it was closer and crackled with malice and there was the distinct smell of something singed.

Chapter Two - Witness:
Hannibal looked out through the bubble that encased him. He couldn’t move; he felt as if his body had suddenly become frozen although strangely enough, he didn’t feel cold. In fact, he didn’t really feel anything.

He could see Katie on the deck reaching for him and Josh had his arms wrapped around her holding her back. They all looked frozen in time as they posed unmoving.

He shifted his eyes slightly and saw a bird frozen in mid-flight. One of the partygoer’s had dropped their plate of food which hung in mid-air waiting to hit the deck.
