The seat was cramped and icy air rattled through the top floor windows. There was never a comfortable medium, either sweat or goosebumps graced her flesh. This wasn’t the first time she’d caught the night bus, it was the third time this week. Nor would she be the last person to curl up on the […]
A Spy?
Icy tendrils of fear threaded down his spine, bursting into his stomach as molten butterflies. Excitement heightened his senses, feeling as though he could account for every atom within his vicinity.
