The thought of going outside filled her with dread. Amelia had retreated to the darkest corner of her bedroom, the curtains drawn, the silence a precious, fragile thing. She knew, though, that it wouldn't last. She heard the first loud crash.

She pulled the covers over her head, wishing she could simply disappear. Her body was rigid, her muscles tight, and she felt a tremor running through her.

She had to escape. The walls were closing in, the noise becoming too much. She’d go to her friend’s, she decided. Anything to get away. The thought was the only comfort.
