Refresh: Extras

Escapee

   Post book 1 Pre book 2.

   It was a good day. Sun shining, birds singing. Kids were playing in the street. It was peaceful.
   Key word was.
   I was having a rather good day as well. I actually slept somewhere around 6 straight hours. It was an oddly good feeling day.
   Frootloops for breakfast. They were my favorite. Error and Geno seemed to be in a pretty good mood too. Today just seemed perfect!
   Error was the one who turned te TV on. The News was on. Ma must have been watching it last night. Error didn't make a move to change the channel.
   The white noise was a nice addition to breakfast. Geno sipped some water snd took his pills carefully. Error chewed absently on his muffin. Ma wasn't even up yet.
   "In recent news a man called Andrew Wilson escaped from prison today. He is considered dangerous to children and should be reported on sigh. Do not engage." The TV didn't even know the bombshell it just dropped.
   My spoon clinked against the side of my bowl. Error launched across the table to turn the TV off. Too late the damage was done.
   My hands began to shake. I gripped the table tight enough to make my bones creak. Good day ruined.
   "Fresh.." Geno stood up.
   My soul sped up. Ny breathing became shallow and harsh. Panic attack incoming. I was spiralling.
   "Fresh come on. You're safe! We won't let you get hurt!" Geno insisted gripping my forearms. " Error get Mom!"
   I heard his shoes squeak on the floor as he ran. "I can't go back!" I cried grappling for something to hold. I balled Geno's scarf in my hand.
   "I know." Geno pulled my close and held me close. "We won't let him take you."
   "Geno.." Tears escaped as I held on tighter.
   "I won't let him have you." He sighed deeply and tightened his grip. "I've got you."
