It was a peaceful night when Barrett and his daughter were driving home ... then something happened. Something sinister. Something took Barrett’s daughter from him. Now the only person Barrett can turn to for help is Anson, a man gifted with psychic abilities beyond reason. But Anson is also his ex-boyfriend, a man whose heart he’d already broken. As Anson delves deeper into the circumstances surrounding Barrett’s accident, he begins to realize he’s in a race against time. Whatever has taken Barrett’s daughter is a force of evil beyond anything either man has ever encountered. Can both men put aside their heartaches and past to save Barrett’s daughter from an entity that has the power to destroy them all?

Earthly Concerns

If not…No, she would have to know! I stopped and looked back towards the trashcans. If she didn’t, what would happen to Barrett’s daughter? I tried clearing my head as I made my way back towards my house. I would call her again, maybe just get in my car and head over there now. I had the sudden urge to wash my hands and went to the kitchen. I hadn’t gotten anything on them, but the motion, the heat of the water, the smell of the soap, helped reel me back from the edges of what had just happened.


I looked at the clock over the kitchen sink as I scrubbed my hands. It was too late to call her again, I reasoned, as I wiped my hands on a dishtowel that hung from my oven door. It would have to wait. I would see her tomorrow.
