PREFACE
I FELT LIKE I WAS TRAPPED IN ONE OF THOSE TERRIFYING
nightmares, the one where you
have to run, run till your lungs burst, but you can't make your body move fast enough. My legs seemed to
move slower and slower as I fought my way through the callous crowd, but the hands on the huge clock
tower didn't slow. With relentless, uncaring force, they turned inexorably toward the end—the end of
everything.
But this was no dream, and, unlike the nightmare, I wasn't running for
my
life; I was racing to save
something infinitely more precious. My own life meant little to me today.
Alice had said there was a good chance we would both die here. Perhaps the outcome would be
different if she weren't trapped by the brilliant sunlight; only I was free to run across this bright, crowded
square.
And I couldn't run fast enough.
So it didn't matter to me that we were surrounded by our extraordinarily dangerous enemies. As the
clock began to toll out the hour, vibrating under the soles of my sluggish feet, I knew I was too late—and
I was glad something bloodthirsty waited in the wings. For in failing at this, I forfeited any desire to live.
The clock tolled again, and the sun beat down from the exact center point of the sky.
