Burning Reflections

Prologue

She was dead tired.

A hot bath beckoned her and she only wanted to go home. But the

dinner date she’d made with friends earlier that week still loomed ahead.

Damn. Forgot to cancel. She’d certainly meant to, but time had gotten

away from her. Her options were limited now. If she didn’t go, she’d get

an earful from Tina, her friend from the post office, and then, of course,

Tina’s boyfriend, Chuck, would chime in. No, best to go and get it over

with.

Shouldering her voluminous bag, she was halfway across the room

when the lights went out. She came to a sudden stop, a tremor of

trepidation catching her unaware. For a brief moment, her heart lurched

before irritation crowded out the thoughts of her evening. As she calmed,

she realized this was just another glitch in the electrical system of an old

building. Every time it stormed, the lights went out. And she’d definitely

seen a few gathering clouds on her way in from the hearing.

A slight rustle caused a shiver of fear to build in the pit of her

stomach. She looked around the room, desperately trying to see through

the blanket of darkness. Then, trying to shake off the nerves, she took

another step forward before a thump made her stop.

She caught her breath and held it. Don’t panic. Sounds are magnified

in the dark. The self-talk did little to help the weakness stealing her

limbs.

The darkness carried a hint of foreboding. Of awareness. She heard

footsteps and the whisper of clothing.

And suddenly, she realized, she wasn’t alone.

Instincts told her to run and, with a pounding heart, she took off

toward the door. And collided immediately with a solid form. A body. A

hand seized her arm. A scream bubbled in her throat, quickly silenced by
