Excerpts:
ADAM:
I clutch my well-worn paperback of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein close
to my heart. The doctor robbed graves, stealing body parts to create his
monster. I suppress a shiver. In a way, the transplant surgeon does the same
thing by harvesting a donor’s organs when they’re on the brink of death. If I
get prioritized on the list, I’ll be waiting for that poor victim to arrive.
Then I’ll steal his or her heart and with it, their life.

DARBY:
Images blur on a merry-go-round from Hell that spins faster with
each turn. Sleet pounding the windshield. Daniel fighting with the clutch and
brake. The truck’s headlights impaling us. Crunching steel. Daniel’s bloody
face.
each turn. Sleet pounding the windshield. Daniel fighting with the clutch and
brake. The truck’s headlights impaling us. Crunching steel. Daniel’s bloody
face.
Pain stretches from my
head, dragging its dirty talons down my neck and across my shoulders, ending in
cold numbness at my chest. Something presses my body down. I can’t move. I
can’t escape it.
