“You were just walking into the surf and then sat on the shore. You were so happy a moment ago.” Dad rubs my shoulder. He’s a full seven inches taller than me and his strength is always reassuring. Of course, at his words I don’t need reassurance, I need to be grounded -- it can’t be true, can it?
“Shut up.” My mouth sags a little. “It’s really July tenth? Manson is still in business? There haven’t been any...accidents?”
Love this.
ReplyDeleteOh, here comes the realization... I wonder what will happen next.
ReplyDeleteShe is clearly very confused—as would anyone caught in a time loop.
ReplyDeleteSo fascinating that now she's back in time before the events! Enjoyed the snippet...
ReplyDeletePoor Cassy. How is she going to escape this loop?
ReplyDeleteThis is getting more and more confusing for poor Cassy. Is she ever going to to be able to get back to normality? Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteShe's in a muddle, obviously, and her dad can't possibly understand.
ReplyDeleteAnother compelling snippet. :-) This is a great story! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis has to be horrible for her. Caught in a time loop then not knowing what's real and what happened in the past.
ReplyDeleteThe poor girl is confused, and I would be too.
ReplyDeleteThey're both understandably confused, but she seems to be getting the idea. Love her hesitation and substitution of "accidents." It shows she's still being cautious!
ReplyDeleteWhat a confusing situation.
