Art touched something on the remote and we had full sound, not just the muted pops and puffs of the nearly silent gunfire. The voices of my friends seemed close and immediate, and I shivered a bit in my hospital gown.
Trike charged after the retreating monsters, screaming curses in h...

“I’d love to wipe that smug smile off his impudent face!” Amos said loud enough for Malcolm to hear as he paced the rocky edge of the gorge we were hiding in. The gorge was nestled between two low-slung hills Langston’s people had escorted...

Gene grinned at me as he waited expectantly for my reply. From the moment I rang the doorbell, I was worried that he’d take the opportunity to ask me out on a date. If I’d been a girl all my life, I might have been excited that he asked. Right now, not so...

We were ten feet or so from the doors when they suddenly opened. Lee’s Mom, Ariana Frick, stood there smiling at us, wearing the sort of power suit you see women politicians in.
