Back in the day, I had this plan for the off chance that I was around for the whole end-of-the-world thing It involved cli REM’s "It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" as loud as humanly possible, but real life rarely turns out that cool

It was happening--everything about the world as we kneas ending, and it sure as hell did not feel fine Or cool

Opening my eyes, I inched aside the flimsy white curtain I peered out, beyond the porch and the cleared yard, into the thick woods surrounding the cabin Luc had stashed in the forests of Coeur d’Alene, a city in Idaho I couldn’t even begin to pronounce or spell

The yard was e through the trees No one was out there Correction Nothing was out there No birds were chirping or fluttering fron of any woodland creatures scurrying anywhere There wasn’t even the low hu was silent and still, soundless in a totally creeptastic kind of way

My gaze fixed on the woods, glued to the last place I’d seen Daeht we’d fallen asleep on the couch seeht hours or so since I’d woken up, overheated, and nearly been blinded by Daeh if we’d knohat it signaled, it probably wouldn’t have changed anything

So many others of his kind, hundreds--if not thousands--of Luxen, had co with his sister and brother, and ere still here in this cabin

Pressure cla eant Dasher’s warning caht thethe crazy train into Insanity Land, but they had been right

God, they had been so right

The Luxen came like Daedalus had warned, like they had prepared for, and Daes, and I squeezed my eyes shut I had no idea why he left with them or why I hadn’t seen or heard fro his disappearance were a constant shadow that haunted every waking moment and even the few minutes I’d been able to sleep

What side would Dae on? Dasher had asked that of me once, while I’d been held at the very real Area 51, and I couldn’t let myself believe that I had that answer now
