Rogue Angel 54: Day Of Atonement - Plot & Excerpts
Annja worked it around so she could lift it with her hands, but before she’d taken half a dozen steps the heat from the wick was burning her skin. She gritted her teeth against the pain, only just managing to lower it to the ground without dropping it in the process. That would have been a disaster. Her heart raced, as she couldn’t help but imagine all of the potential consequences of the thing smashing. The worst was that it was only a short step away from what she was contemplating. The wooden door at the top of the short flight of stone steps felt dry enough that she might just get away with the crazy notion she had: smashing the lantern against it. If she got really lucky, the oil-fueled flame would be enough to start it burning. But to undermine its integrity enough that she could batter her way out? It was a long shot. And for all that to happen before the woman returned? Perhaps impossible. In the absence of any windows she had no idea how much time had actually passed since the woman had left.
