{Excerpt}
There
was a slight whirl, accompanied by an odd wobbling sound. He stepped toward the
sound and reached out his hand, feeling heat radiate off a strange, crystal
clear shimmer. It rested at the edge of the tire tracks in the middle of the
path. “Lil?” His voice held a tinge of panic. He had no idea what this was. It
pulled at him and dragged his feet forward like a black hole sucking him up.
Even if he wanted to stop, he couldn't. He was paralyzed by the force before
him. The moment his skin touched the shimmer; it burned cold. Bray opened his
mouth to scream, but the sound died on his lips. He gasped for air, unable to
breathe. He quivered, then convulsed, collapsing onto the ground, out cold.
