Prologue

A Chapter by Courtney

The alarm clock rang through into my dreamless night; disguised as a dark raven, cawing out into the blackened sky. The absence of illumination causing a seed of dread to be deeply embedded into my very soul as I recalled the events of the previous day. All had been lost and there was no fight left in me; I lied there looking up into nothingness. Longing for the warm caress of the sun, to be able to open my eyes and know with unadulterated certainty that they were open. My hopelessly weary eyes closed again, although it made no difference.
