Following the Cracks “I can’t believe I missed that,” Emerald said as she raced the station wagon through the streets of Idaho Falls. “You searched while time was stopped, right?” Dyna said, keeping her eyes closed while she pinched the bridge of her nose. Sorting through foreign memories […]
Stolen Information Emerald’s car was the sort of thing that Dyna expected from an overly prepared doomsday prepper. She had seen the armory of weapons in the back before, which ranged from a dozen pistols of varying makes to high precision sniper rifles, but was still surprised with the […]
Tick-Tock Having Emerald back changed a few things in Dyna’s life. Training sessions were rougher. More intense. Dyna had no idea how she would have kept up were it not for the multitude of gadgets that she was cycling through. Before Emerald left for Korea, she had participated […]
