Poor little Cotton! I don't know about him but I have a tendency to feel everything after a frightening event, not during. I hope that's all that's wrong for Cotton.
ReplyDeleteSounds like there's more wrong than the obvious. Good snippet, Sara. :)

Always keep you on your toes and wondering whays going to happen. Outstanding writing from an outstanding autor.
