The Retreat (The After Trilogy Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
She couldn’t be near Atlas until she knew he was telling the truth. The ringing had disappeared just before daybreak this morning. Instinctually, Romy knew its replacement was worse. A block had descended on her mind that she couldn’t push through. It was as if the denial had made her stronger before. But now that she had confirmation something was wrong, her defence was stripped away. A fog clouded her judgement, keeping her slightly to the side of reality. It filled her with every breath, but didn’t leave her lungs on the breath out. It was filling her mind, slowly taking over her actions. The floating sensation was back. Romy had become a shadow of herself. Worse was the glass. That was the only way she could describe it. It felt like Romy’s sanity was encased in a glass cabinet. And she stood paralysed, scared to move for fear the glass would break. There were cracks in the glass already, in her mind’s eye.
