Sneak Peek

Death was a cocoon.
Inside it, he became something else. It was a shield that enveloped him, blotting out the pain and the fear. Then they brought him back, and the cocoon dissipated.
Gone.
Evaporated, like a drop of water on the scalding metal slats of the heating vent in his cell. But dying was always easy.
Coming back tore him to pieces.
