....."Come here, Sweetie," he called once more.
This time the bird flapped its wings in a great scurry of noise, startling Philip so much that he lost his balance. The last thing he remembered was the sting of the barbed wire slicing into the soft skin of his neck as he looked up to see that bird disappear into the New York City sky before everything went black.
Now, as he lies on the cold cement floor in the Erwins' basement, Philip watches as the bird outside continues pecking at the ground. He looks around at the rows of makeshift support columns and at the shadowy lump of Gail's body rising and falling with her every breath. He wants to do something to get them out of here, but what? Even if he could free himself, which he has been trying unsuccessfully to do for hours, he is far too afraid to face that monster at the top of the stairs. ...........
.......And now there is the terror of trying to escape.
John Searsles' national bestseller Strange But True. I actually haven't read it, but based on my wife's eagerness to share each chapter with me verbally as she completes them, it feels like I have. She finished it earlier today and says it's in her list of most favorite books and authors.
I'm a Dan Brown kinda guy, but I'm going to give it a read and see if it is as gratifying for me as it was for her.
