Welcome to my serialized short, Escape. If you’ve missed the story up until now, go ahead and catch up at the compilation page here. Escape is set in the same world as my latest release, Trust in Me.
Naïve bastard that he’d been, Alex hadn’t been discouraged when he’d found her bruised and broken body at that hellhole. At least she was alive, he told himself. She would heal; he would make sure of it. Maybe that would help atone for what she’d gone through. Maybe if he helped her, it would begin to undo the damage.
Only fair, considering it was his fault she’d been abducted.
Thanks for playing! Be sure to visit the other sixers here.

Oh my gosh! I want this entire story. How is he responsible? So many questions I want answered.
Wow. His guilt is palpable! Great six!
I love his character–this makes me want to know more about him!
His fault!? Oh boy. Another fab 6.
You just keep stringing us along, hooking us in deeper with each entry. Awesome six, Skye. Do you think you might string them all together and release the story as a whole once you’ve completed it here? (I vote yes!)
I’m with everyone else, what did he do? Tense snippet!
Wonderful six! I’m wondering what has happened to make him feel so responsible and haunted by guilt!
Oh, the tension here is killing me! I want to know why!!! Great six!
Thanks all!
@Karla I’m putting them all in order here so anyone can read the whole story easily. Not sure if I can package it up at the end … it’s long for a serialized story but short for a published work!
He’s got some ground to make up then.
very nice six.
I didn’t go to the other compilation first. I read these six. Now I must go back and read what’s come before. I’m hooked.
Oooh! I want to know: Why he feels guilty? What she was abducted by and why? So much info in six short sentences. Very well done!
