Doll Eyes They found us, the two young while exchanging glances. They sprayed their last mark before jolting at the sound of the sirens. The rush of it all swept through their eyes in a wave of adrenalin. They sought cover behind a brick building and tried to keep their heaping breaths to a minimum. “Lori you cannot speak of this to anyone, you hear?” The last thing Rebecca remembered was the shadow of a troubled girl nodding. *** Re-living this sequence of events in a daze she awakens…
