Book Cover & Preview Text
“Carlos?” Brown called out. He turned to leave out the foyer and came towards the cabinet. He looked at it intently as he passed, never taking his eyes off it. He made it a couple of inches from the door. The cabinet squeaked and Brown turned around and looked at it, sighed, and turned his attention back on the front door. The cabinet shook violently as the door came flying open. A man jumped out of the cabinet with a knife the size of a toddler’s arm, charging full speed towards Brown, screaming at the top of his lungs. Brown turned to run as the moment seemed to slow like molasses falling from a jar. Norton: The Anatomy of Pain- As it walked toward Lucy, it whipped the end of the belt across the floor. “What do you want?” Lucy whispered through battered lips, seeing the belt come alive as flames erupted all over it. It said nothing, as it raised the belt and began to strike Lucy, tearing pieces of skin off as it hit her body. Lucy screams echoed throughout the room. As the flaming strap hitting her throat the most horrific scream cut short as the pain robbed her souls. A throaty last breath bellowed in a low ghoulish sound. Lucy slumped back with momentum, eyes towards the ceiling as if she were looking towards heaven.
