SOPHIA ~ Water, drops of water from the roof of a dark room. First it was one, then it became two, and suddenly the roof fell to the ground and crashed. I screamed and threw my arms around my body, but when I opened my eyes, I was unharmed…I looked ahead only to find a wrecked car in front of me.
SOPHIA "Mummy? Mummy, what's wrong?" Good question, David, I thought to myself as I struggled to turn to look at him. With my quivering lips and shaky fingers, I looked down at my phone which now lay helplessly on the ground. "Mummy?" David jumped from the bed and stood beside me. He was still w

FEW HOURS LATER SOPHIA As we drove back to the Palace, I stayed silent. David, Daniel, and Darwin continued to go back and forth with endless theories concerning what had happened at the hospital, but I knew my boys, and I also knew that they were too smart. We all knew what had happened, what wa
ASHER Fucked up. That's the one and only word I had for everything I had been told in the past…what? Seventy two to one hundred and twenty hours? Once again, I kept my gaze on the window and allowed my thoughts to wander off. It was the only thing that kept me busy these days. The nights I fou
