Tabitha barely had enough money left for food; she certainly couldn’t afford another place to stay for the night. “You can do this.” Her stomach grumbled.

Averting Crisis Ch. 1
A scream in the middle of the night shocked Tabitha out of a nightmare. In her rush to escape her sheets, she fell out of bad face first. The crunch of cartilage in her nose sent a sharp pain through her sinuses, forcing her fully alert. Another scream pierced the quiet night. Tabitha rushed out…
