The Tuesday That Wouldn't Stay Buried
sci-fi◐ TeenMara held the clock tight and the spinning got faster. The shop windows went dark, then bright, then dark again. She squeezed her eyes shut. When she opened them, sun was pouring in. The wall calendar read Tuesday. Tomas was alive somewhere out there, and she had until the truck to find him.
Mara decided not to chase Tomas at all. The truck was the problem, so she'd stop the truck. She knew the delivery route. If she could block that street or warn the driver, her brother would never be in danger. She headed for the depot.
