Chapter 9 (Knock)

• When reality hits, it hits so hard it's like being up against a wall, that's how Elijah felt. And it wasn't something metaphorically said, that's how he found himself feeling every part of his body being paralyzed.

• His breathing was rapid, he could hear his heart pounding in his ears, he wanted to scream but apparently his vocal cords were not on his side. There he stood in front of what he knew was a woman with a look that radiated everything that could be found on a cold night, under the gloom. Her face looked like something out of a thousand hells, so he said.
