The Blackest Sun The sun was usually the only object that could make Sam wince. Things have changed since the Turning.

The Nightmare That Shook The World Any one who had the nightmare never spoke of it. They were unable to speak after the nightmare. They woke up screaming, then were unable to speak again.

There’s a little bench down by the water. Scattered in front of me are rocks and twigs.
