The main character, Leonard Mead, is walking while the other inhabitants of the city are in their houses.

Leonard is approached by the only police car in the city, and he is interrogated.…

Jada entered her bedroom, flicking on the light and unwrapping the wet towel from around to her body. As she walked by the mirror on the left, her profile revealed the burgeoning form of a young woman, someone who looked much older than the 14 year old girl reflected.

Then I start to go to the part of the control room in Lidtke Mill that is supposed to be haunted by a family…

The blue midnight sky was glistening with infinite stars that lay above my slanted head as I watched the twilight moon above me. Glancing down my hand, catching sight of the time gave me the realization that this was actually happening. Months of preparation, years of mental training and the day had come faster than ever. My mind and heart were trapped in the though and mission of protecting and defending my country, the country that gave me everything and was everything. I was 22, they call me…
