Oracle 2: a second glimpse of a WIP

Warning:  the following excerpt is unedited and unproofed. A black butterfly flitted through my peripheral vision. My stomach bottomed out even as I raised my head to follow the butterfly’s flight path. It danced along the eaves of the garage, then up over Beau’s shoulder. He didn’t seem to notice as it stopped to kiss […]
