Twilight -
New moon
Preface
. . .
I felt
like i was trapped in one of those terrifying nightmares, the
ones where you have to run, run till your lungs burst, but you
cant make your body move fast enough. My legs seemed to move
slower and slower as i fought my my way through the callous
crowd, but the hands on the huge clock tower didnt slow.
Alice had said there was a good chance we would both die here.
Perhaps the outcome would be different if she werent trapped by
the brilliant sunlight; only i was free to run across this
bright, crowded square . . .
(That was only a bit of the preface - want to read more, read the
book. And sorry about any spelling mistakes !)
