Thank You.

Chapter 64 (Epilogue)

Looking back, I cannot help but feel proud of how far I have come.


You heard me right. I said 'I', not 'we'. You probably know by now that I do not like talking about myself, but f...

Slow and steady, careful as can be.


With surgical precision, I bring the strand of hair out of the tank, lower it back inside, and repeat. Having dealt with Lillis for so long, I ...

Our group moves at midnight. By now, most people have either gone home and/or are already fast asleep. That means the streets are pretty empty, apart from the occasional drunk stumbling around. The...

"Dinner's ready!" Robin calls to us from the kitchen. The smell of his cooking permeates the house.

The first time I ever helped the Lillis with construction, I was extremely nervous. My heart was racing, my hand was trembling, and my stomach was tied in knots. Looking back on it now, I feel I ha...

"What makes them so important?" Jeannine asks me, lightly shaking our container. They are so small that they seem more like dust to her. We have only been at this for a half hour, yet we are nearin...
