I step out of the car with my hands up, dropping the knife to the ground.
“Lauren Blue, keep your hands where I can see them. You are under arrest.” The words are spoken on a loudspeaker and I can’t tell where they’re coming from. I’m surrounded by at least a dozen police officers.
They’ve got Oliver. They have him pushed up against his car and they are cuffing his wrists behind him.
I drop to my knees.
A burly male officer holsters his weapon and steps towards me.
I grab the knife by my feet and lunge at him, holding it above my head and thrusting violently.
Another male officer takes several steps in my direction and extends his arms, pointing his gun directly at me. The sleeve of his dark blue uniform is pushed up just enough that I can clearly see the tattoo of a cross on his forearm.
“Drop the knife, Lauren Blue. You need to listen to me. I don’t want to hurt you,” the officer shouts, his gun steady in his hands.
I turn to run, with the knife still in my hand.
I hear several gun shots but I know exactly which one hits me.
Everything goes black.
I remember the exact moment I lost my mind.

About the Author
Kari Fisher is an author, poet and dog groomer who has made Northern Ontario her home. She is a fan of many different types of literature and music, and spends her days shaving dogs or writing while sipping coffee, which she is hopelessly addicted to. She holds a blue belt in Taekwondo and has run a marathon. Kari loves food, and so does her cat, NyQuil. On Facebook, you’ll often read her frustrating rants about how NyQuil has gotten into something again—last night he opened a kitchen cupboard and ate through a box of stovetop stuffing while Kari slept.
Kari was raised in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, and studied Psychology at Champlain Regional College in Sherbrooke, Quebec, before settling down in Northern Ontario, where she met her fiancé, Christian. In 2013, Kari and Christian welcomed a beautiful little girl named Milena. Milena loves books and bedtime stories already. In 2014, Kari self-published her debut novel, Through Glass, which is being re-released through Limitless Publishing.
