Writing the Vision...and Making It Plain

Book Title: The Price: N/A

The Price Free Preview

The cracking sound of gunfire exploded behind them, continuing for several seconds before Melissa and Carrie, en route to the auditorium with dozens of other students, realized there was a problem. As scattered screams joined the staccato barrage, Melissa stopped in her tracks and turned back toward the sound. Her wide green eyes took in the surrealistic scene even as its reality began to register in her brain. Teenagers—some of them her friends, others known only by sight—stood, for the most part frozen in fear and disbelief, while a few others bolted for the nearest exits. Then she saw him—the vaguely familiar face, terrifying in its calm resolve, the gloved hands holding the assault rifle in front of him as he fired into the crowd.

     Suddenly, amid the escalating screams and gunfire, Melissa heard a moan. Willing herself to turn away from the horrifying drama unfolding in front of her, she looked down. There, lying at her feet, was Carrie, her skin so white it seemed grayish-green against the crimson pool spreading from beneath her twisted young body. It was then that Melissa’s screams escaped from somewhere deep within as she fell to the floor beside the seemingly lifeless girl who had been her closest friend for as long as she could remember.
