The feeling of terror reverberated through Ylana’s body long
after the vision finally ebbed away.
Nara helped her out of the spaceport, and they spent the remainder of
the day trying to discover the location of the beach from the brutal images
that were now seared into Ylana’s brain.
Finally, after two days of searching and a few sporadic
visions that added nothing except additional tension that Ylana’s worn mind
could hardly take, the two of them stood on the shore. Ylana looked down at the place where she’d
seen the flowers and whispered, “Life is so delicate, so fragile, and it can
all end in a moment.”
“And it ends even faster if someone’s determined to end it
for you,” declared an unknown female voice.

ReplyDeletehey I have yet to read the rest of the story. But from what I see here it sounds like a pretty good story. This little part is creepy. Good ending. Great job
ReplyDeleteEek! What a cliffhanger!
ReplyDeleteI thought they were going to end up on a beech, the delicate waves lapping against the shore, a deep, relaxing breath from their journey so they could get themselves some peace. . but no. It's a chilling, terrifying last sentence. Excellent cliffhanger. x
ReplyDeleteWow! Very frightening!
ReplyDeleteNow we have to wait nearly a whole week to find out if that female voice is friendly or evil...
ReplyDeleteNot what I'd want to hear behind me...love how your words work!
