Excerpt:
In the distance
she saw it—the slightest ripple and flash in the forest preserve just across
the lawn. She had just walked through there earlier that morning on her way
into school. Lil jumped in her seat. No one seemed to notice. Her eyes widened.
Just beyond the trees, a figure stood tall in blue jeans and a blue-striped
button-down shirt.
Who are you? She shook her head as she glanced back
at her English teacher, Ms. Lee. Her back was to Lil, so she shifted in her
seat and peered out the window at the stranger not more than a dozen yards
away. He approached through the trees until he came as far as the clearing. He
leaned his back onto a trunk and nodded toward Lil, just once. Lil pinched
herself, making sure she was awake. He gestured for her to come outside,
letting her know he was there, for her.
