There is malevolent creature on the wall above our heads. The door is less than 25’ down the hall. We feel its breath, its heat, its hatred radiating over us. My only thought is to get my 6-year-old daughter to safety.
What I see inching closer to us shows me the horrors to come.
I must get Gianna out the door while a put up a fight.
We have one chance.
Gianna is looking at me with hope dwindling.
Movements of my eyes tell her to run to the door.
A nudge, a charge, pain, flesh, fight, horror, she’s out!

Love Found in the Most Unlikely Places
Chapter 1: The Daily Grind Lena Parker was used to the hustle and bustle of New York City. As a dedicated nurse at St. Mary’s Hospital, her days were filled with back-to-back shifts, emergency cases, and the constant pressure of making life-and-death decisions. Her job was demanding, leaving her with little time for herself, let alone for romance. Her daily routine was predictable: wake up, work, sleep, and repeat. The city that never sleeps had become a reflection of her life—constantly moving, never pausing.
