Survivalist - 21 - To End All War - Plot & Excerpts
Annie whispered, not as the needle—Sarah had inquired and it was an injection of a mild sedative—had punctured her arm, but afterward, as the sedative began to take its effect, “He’s dying-dying-Daddy!? He-“ “Jesus,” Sarah whispered, her lips touching at Annie’s hair, her hands caressing her daughter’s face. Annie was experiencing her father’s death. John. Without him, what would there be? Sarah shivered. Natalia’s voice beside Sarah Rourke was calmer than she ever would have expected it to be. “He’s more than mortal. How can he die?” And Natalia began to cry. Sarah Rourke’s left arm moved toward Natalia as the woman dropped to her knees beside them. Her arm folded around Natalia and she drew her head to her shoulder, holding her. Annie’s voice, strange, detached, came again. “One litde spot.” Annie’s gift of the mind, as Sarah Rourke had always thought it to be, was the most horrible of curses. Annie was, mentally, experiencing her father’s death as surely as if somehow she were inside him, as if she were her father.
