Wind erupted from the bag‚ scattering my ships across the sea. Distraught‚ I run from below decks‚ seize

The flat‚ empty horizon of reds and browns gave way to neat sections of farmland that flickered past like pages of a picture book. They were wheat fields‚ bristling and swaying in the early autumn breeze. I knew then M— wouldn’t be that much further. And it wasn’t; it appeared like a smudge of dark green on that lifeless line of longitude known as the outback. I drove through the town and the cool drape of dusk gently

She didn’t even get to finish her sentence as her arms pushed her body forward‚ slamming them into Josh. Her friend let out a surprised sound as he stumbled backward. “Lila!” Josh screamed as he slipped. He was at the edge of the cliff now‚ barely centimeters away from plummeting to the bottom. Water and mud gathered around his boots as they sunk into the wet ground. Crack! Another loud sound echoed through the night air as Josh looked at Lila with pleading eyes. He knew what was happening

As if she was dreaming‚ she saw Arthur‚ so tall and confident in chain and crimson. She missed him fiercely‚ the security of his embrace‚ the comfort of his voice‚ his tender kiss so long not felt. She could not resist running to him‚ but there was something unusual in her gait. Tears fell so fast she could hardly see. Most importantly‚ there was something dire that the king needed to know.

“I love you!” But by the time I looked back my mother was gone. I knew she was just trying to get me away from her when she said “go hide‚ let’s play hide and seek.” A few minutes later I realized why she had me hide‚ there was a group of mean soldiers chasing her on massive‚ muscular horses‚ but I knew most of the horses the soldiers were riding‚ they used to be in my herd but they went missing‚ they used to be so beautiful and free now they are machines used to catch more wild horses.
