The wind brushed her cheeks, catching his name and carrying it away from her. She crossed her arms over her breasts and sobbed, her gaze fixed on the rise. She would never again look at the horizon wi...
The little boy touched his dust-streaked hand to Loretta’s hair and made a breathless ooh sound. He smelled like any little boy who had been hard at play, a bit sweaty yet somehow sweet, with the defi...
Slowly the heat from his body chased the chill from hers. Loretta’s eyelids grew heavy. The wind whispering in the treetops seemed peaceful now, not frightening. The shifting shadows that had terrifie...
