EXCERPT:
He raised hollow eyes to meet
mine. The flames within them dimmed and guttered out. Darkened, they looked
like empty sockets in his pallid face. I leaned in close, searching the depths
of them for the terror I hoped he felt.
I looked, and I saw…nothing. I
stared into the black mirrors of his eyes and found only emptiness, an infinite
void in what should have been the windows of his soul. A hunger to grasp something
he could never hold, to fill that emptiness inside by any means necessary.
"I
know that hunger." The
realization struck me so hard, I couldn’t marshal my thoughts in time to keep
from projecting it.
He let out a sharp breath in what
might have been a scoff. I barely noticed—I was frozen in horrified fascination.
The aching chasm in my own heart yawned wide, reflecting the darkness of those
eyes as surely as they reflected my own face back at me. I shuddered, hating
him, hating myself…
I wrenched my gaze free of his.
“I know that hunger.” This time I whispered the words aloud.
“Then sate it.”
I ventured a glance at his chin,
muttering, “You’re so eager to die?”
His lips curved up again in that
faint, mocking smile. “You have no intention of letting me live. Why shouldn't
you enjoy the kill?”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Nia Shay is a
reclusive weirdo who lives in a tiny concrete box in the middle of the Arizona
desert. (No, seriously.) In between
dealing with mild OCD and an epic caffeine addiction, she finds time to mold
the voices in her head into cohesive sarcastic remarks, and sometimes even a
story or two. She has been penning such tales, almost all of them with a
decidedly paranormal flavor, since the second grade. Now that paranormal
fiction is the "in thing," Nia has decided to overcome her extreme
distaste for trends and jump on the ol' bandwagon. Join her on her harrowing
journey through the twisted corridors of her own mind—that is…if you dare.
