Choices:
Left or right. Up or down. Truth or lie.
Live or die…
I was warned it might boil down to this. My destiny was not chiseled in stone. Instead it fell into place piece by piece; or rather choice by choice.
I never thought it would come to this, a choice between life and death. My decision to grant the next breath or to tighten the suffocating stranglehold. To desire goodness or to serve evil. To save the world or to condemn it to oblivion. All of those choices had been placed in the palm of my hand.
As the torrential storm rained down upon me, the enemy dared to mock my pain with a wicked gleam in his eyes. Time slowed to a languid crawl; the crumpled, lifeless body lay on the floor…
And the once imprisoned power broke free yet again…
This is really powerful, it made my throat tighten!

Thank you! That was the effect I was going for, so I am glad to hear it worked! This is the Preface of the novel I just published on Amazon. I’m hoping to stir up some more interest in the story by adding some sneak peeks here on my website. Thank you for your feedback!
