Agony

We met under the New York skyline.

None of it was real, but for a split second, it seemed to be.

He was kind to me.

Too kind.

I knew he was hiding a secret—I just didn’t know what.

When I found out, New York fell away from me.

Every warm smile and softly spoken word seemed to hurl me back to reality.

I remembered that I was in the Devil’s Den.

What I didn’t know was that monsters lurked in the city of angels.

And it wouldn’t be long before I found out exactly who those monsters were.
