2020 - Don't be a Hostage

When I look back at the headlines from the first week or two of 2020, it feels like the events discussed occurred years and years ago. It's as though sometime in mid-March, someone pulled me off the merry-go-round of life and has been holding me hostage somewhere in an unidentified, alternative reality, ever since. I've been frantically awaiting the moment when I could break free of those chains, when things would slow down and clear up sufficiently enough that I might then have the opportunity to hop back on the ride. How about you? Do you feel like a hostage to the 2020 mayhem? Well then, this might be a good time to pick up a great story in which you can get lost. This might be just the moment to free your mind and soul--at least for a time. What do you think?

Her blade rammed into the intruder’s chest, full to its bolster. Then, even as the life passed from his body, Lucy jumped to her feet. She retrieved her weapon from the man’s chest. She wouldn’t make the same mistake again.

She turned to Broden. “Let’s go.”

He took her hand, ran to her cabin, and opened the door. They nearly fell inside, even as renewed shouting sounded out.

They rushed to a window and looked out. Smoke filled the air, but didn’t fully obstruct their view.

“Oh, dear Good One!” Lucy exclaimed, a hand to her forehead.

Someone screamed.

“What? What happened?” Broden asked as he struggled for a better look.

“They’ve taken a hostage.”
