Something Lurking
Something was in the airspace, but what caused the panic? Carmen heard supernatural sounds that caused her frightened body to stiffen. The constant sounds of the dogs barking and the waves rolling toward the shore at an unnatural height caused concern. Now, the police began to patrol the area around the shore. Something sinister was about to happen. Similarly to how the main character in my novel faces the challenge of staying composed during a crisis, our Heavenly Father also encourages us to seek His guidance in times of distress. The word says in Philippians 4:6 (NIV), "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God."
Book Excerpt
Perfidy, The Debacle Series
Chaos erupted as barking dogs filled the air, screams pierced the stillness, and people dashed from the lake. As I peeked over the brick wall, my anxiety lingered. I saw nothing, but I was sure a sound or something terrified my neighbors enough that they fled. Something lurking in the water filled my neighbors with fear, prompting their unexpected departure from the beach. The water roared and crashed, reaching heights above the average. I had a perfect waterfront view with the shore just a few feet away. Despite the circumstances, many neighbors defied the odds and continued their routine, taking their dogs for a walk along the beach.
Fierce wind gusts carried the unsettling energy of panicked and confused voices. With each air gust, sky-to-ground lightning bolts flashed across the heavens.
A robust breeze wailed with an unmistakable foreboding, hinting at an impending storm. My fingers fastened around the armrest as the forceful breezes whipped against my skin, bringing respite to the sultry air. Over the canopy, lights tinkled and swayed. Shimmering sunlight on our outdoor deck formed a detailed pattern of lively orange, yellow, and red tints.
Unmarked, sleek, black police hovercrafts raced across the sky with a hum, increasing my panic that something forbidden existed in the airspace.
