Book Cover & Preview Text
Shouting coming from the street broke Adam’s concentration on the newspaper. Several of the fairies that Adam had seen the previous month before were now attacking the people of Cherry Tree viciously. Adam watched from the safety of the comic book store as a swarm of fairies attacked a well-dressed businessman. The tiny creatures were chewing each of his fingertips. He howled in pain and began shaking his hands fiercely. This only angered the fairies and several more flew to his neck and began chewing. Blood pouring from the man seemed to make the angry fairies completely ravenous. The man tried slapping his neck, but the fairies just wouldn’t stop. He shrieked a final time as his blue eyes rolled back into his head. His headless body toppled to the ground in a heap and his blood soaked the ground around him. Adam stared as his head hit the ground and seemed to shatter like a crystal ball in celebration of a new year. Fairies then attacked the broken head and feasted on the inside. Adam watched with her mouth gaping as similar events were taking place up and down the street. More bodies were falling and hundreds of fairies were devouring the lifeless heads of the townspeople. The street was a river of blood, death, and horrified people. A tsunami of terror had consumed all of Cherry Tree, and it seemed no one knew for sure what was happening. Police cars and an ambulance screeched onto the scene and quickly grabbed for survivors. Adam rushed out of the comic book store and into the crossfire. "Fairies!” she shouted. “Kill the fairies!” An officer grabbed Adam’s arm and forced her into the back of a car containing other unharmed people. “Leave the bodies! Get the ones who’re still alive and put them in the ambulance!” shouted the officer as he shut the door. “You have to fight back!” Adam screamed at the officer in the front seat. “You have to kill the fairies! It’s the only way to make it stop!” “Do you think this is a joke?” the officer shouted. “Shut your mouth! Our men are dying out there!” “It’s the fairies!” Adam shrieked. The people beside Adam in the seat were obviously terrified. “Listen, little girl,” said the officer. “We’re going to take you home and you can be with your family. The government is sending in the Canadian National Guard and they’re gonna quarantine Cherry Tree until the virus is taken care of. Just keep quiet. Everything’s gonna be okay.” “What virus?! They’re fairies!” The officer turned and put his finger up to Adam’s nose. “Shut your God damn mouth! This isn’t a joke!” Adam slammed
