Excerpt
Boom.
Vicki jumped. Was the sound thunder? Could that be Steve?
A bright orange twelve o'clock flashed from the clock on the bedside table.
Rising to her feet, she inched her way into the living room, ear cocked toward the entry.
Something slammed against the front door.
She fished the business card from her pocket, ran into the bedroom to make the call, and reached for the telephone. As she prepared to dial Detective Carlson's number, her front door collapsed with an astounding crash that reverberated throughout the condominium.
Dropping the phone into the cradle, she rushed into the closet and buried herself amongst the clothing. The closet was the safest place she could think of to hide. Someone lurked through the house.
"Victoria," Steve sang mockingly. "Come out, come out, wherever you are."
How could she get away for this maniac? With her entire body shaking, her fingers gripped the locket hanging above her breast.
"Help me," she whispered. "God, help me."
The rain poured, and the loud and furious thunder clapped. Saying a silent prayer, asking God to protect her and help her, the locket burned her flesh. When she released the locket, the silver fell on her blouse and emitted heat through the material, warming her chest. How could that be? The locket was so hot, holding the heated metal was hard.
Impossible.
Vicki stared at the locket as light escaped around its hinges. Damn. This is not happening.
First, the light was slight, but the light became brighter and brighter, lighting the dark corner of the closet.
With trembling fingers, she opened the locket and shielded her eyes against the brilliant light.
Twisting around, the rear of the closet became a moving painting, and a warm breeze blew through her hair. Grass and small houses sat in the distance, and horses' hooves pounded dirt.
Clip, clop, clip, clop.
Trees waved in the wind, and a grassy fragrance filled the air.
Vicki stared in astonishment.
Was this a dream?
