Extract
I got kidnapped when I was four years old.
Well, not really kidnapped. I kind of agreed to be a part of it. My dad said that the guy who took me wasn’t all there in the head, but he also says that I’m not all there in the head. Everyone panicked and lost their minds for a short time. We were living in the middle of nowhere, even more in the middle of nowhere than where we live now. Mom didn’t work then; she stayed home and took care of my brother Bo and me. Dad had just started working with the police – he was always out on twelve- or thirteen-hour shifts because it was his first year as a policeman and they work you like dogs when you first join just to see if you got the guts to handle it.

Being a teen’s a tough gig, but what if one gig could save your family?
Elias’s brain is a swamp of fears and bad things. His once-loving brother Bo has become a stranger, and his parents are falling apart.
When Bo falls in with dangerous people, Elias decides to bring his family back together – but what begins as a simple pizza-night dream quickly spirals into chaos beyond belief.
Will Elias find a way to save them, or will they recognize what’s happening before it’s too late?
