“Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not themselves.”

~ Abraham Lincoln

Eighteen

Through a thin window next to the ceiling of her small cell, Abby watched dawn fight through a dark blanket of clouds to splay a single ray over the city of Macon. Heavy swirls of mist drifted past, intermittent with the vapor of despair that loomed to her very core.

Every second of the endless night had been spent in prayer. Without Divine assistance, her chances of escaping the tentacles of Farris’ revenge was slim to none.

Beyond the stench of misery and disease reeking from every pore of the concrete wall, hundreds of sunken, lackluster eyes had followed her tow through the well-fortified courtyard. Their appearance was more animal than man as they watched her pass with detached interest. As if their sanity had been put aside in order to survive another day.

Abby was no stranger to carnage and disfigurement caused by battle. But this scourge of madness was a different sort of damage that was more disturbing than anything she’d ever encountered under a triage tent.

As though a deeper evil was in operation here. One not satisfied with simply killing the body, but intent on stealing a man’s soul.

By the early hours of morning, Abby made a vow that if given the slightest opportunity to escape, she’d accept it as a gift from on high and run as fast as she was able without a backward glance.

With truth as her guard, she’d find a way to escape. Even if it meant leaving her heart behind with the only man who’d ever cared enough to protect it.

“Halt!”

Abby couldn’t see the sentry on the high wall outside her window, but his voice pierced the early morning silence setting off a cacophony of barking dogs in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Rising to her feet, she strained to make sense of garbled voices accompanied by a clatter of hoofbeats. If her ears didn’t deceive her, the voices were female, one sounding suspiciously like Cora Dobbs’.

It was all Abby could do not to call out to her.

Please let it be Cora. Help her know I’m here.
