It was a crisp winter's night in Georgia. It was that particular time in late january where there was no longer any frost, but simply biting cold air in what felt like a completely empty atmosphere.
Christine Garner was walking down the road, her tall black silhouette cast shadows from the artificial amber glow of street lamps. Her breath formed swirls of mist with every exhalation and she decide to slide her exposed hands into her coat pocket to retain some warth.
The street seemed empty at this time and her footsteps echoed up and down around her, only interrupted by the silent noises of a cat.
She wasn't totally alone after all.
Christine had time to think on this journey, time to think about what happened the night before.
The events had played in her head so many times over that she didn't know what she could trust their accuracy, or if her own perceptions had rewritten how the events unfolded. Any way she thought about it, one thing was certain. The prison, Crimson Cove, has been overrun.
A painful stab of recollection shot through Christine's brain, as if forcing itself trough a wall she had built to protect her self. She saw it again. The dead, hungry eyes, the pale milky skin, blood. The blood was the most vivid memory of all.
Chrisitine arrived at a new street, all she could see was dark grey stone, paved into a path which led to a new street, and that street would lead her to a next one.
She was lost, she had never been her before, hell, she couldn't even leave the prison grounds. But walking around this dark, scary streets, was no freedom. No, she felt more imprisoned then ever, the unknown held a tigh, heavy grip on her, and she couldn't get out.
