Chapter 20

The night is so thick and dark that she feels blinded by it. There are no streetlamps, no moon, and the stars give no light. She is walking, walking and her feet are aching. The road feels like a treadmill under her; she can’t get there, can’t reach him. The smell of roses and smoke clings to her, invades her senses. He is walking several yards ahead, hands in his pockets, looking down at the road. She is running now, sharp rocks piercing her feet, but somehow the running makes her slower. She yells out to him: Stop! But no sound comes out of her throat. She is choking on the smoke and the smell of the roses. He stops walking and turns. She knows this place. Stop! He can’t hear her. Now she is right behind him, the distance closed, and he is turning around. She tries to shut her eyes but they are already closed. She hears an echoing cough and watches him turn. There is a flash of light, an explosion, and then everything goes black again.
