Chapter 42: Jackus

Fear pushing goosebumps to the surface of her exposed skin in the rapidly cooling air, Didi slips toward the open window at the far end of the shack and tucks close to listen even as her mind spins through possibilities. What used to pass for paint chips flakes against her left shoulder, as dull now as the dust. It cascades to her feet and she stares at its powdered destruction, not seeing it, not really, lost in fear and the past.
