Knee Deep
by Jolene Perry

“Blanketopia.”

My heart jumps, and I spin to face him. That’s a me and Mindy thing. “How do you know about that?”

“You and Mindy used to keep some sort of notebook, and you guys told me.” He sits with his back against the couch, crossing his legs, making full use of the blankets and pillows spread out on the floor.

My chest tightens. This can’t be. No one knows about the notebook. “We told you about the notebook?” I wonder if I’ll be able to swallow my bagel?

He takes a big bite. “Yeah, but you never let me look at it.”

My Teaser:

"But I’m supposed to believe that this is the man who will save my soul? There’s no question about what’s right and wrong up here. Down there, it becomes messed up so fast that I’m afraid. I’m afraid that Matt and I will make all the wrong decisions, and live our lives trying to be God instead of working for God.”

Tears streamed down her cheeks and the walls of the magic room began to change into somber shades of gray. Her powerful feelings melted the sunny portraits on the walls replacing them with desolate scenes of stranded souls begging for the Good Samaritan who would never come.

My Teaser:

Finally, as she hovered on the verge of tears, I shed my glamour and stepped out of the trees. She gasped and brightened instantly, love filling her eyes and making them shine, but I didn't cross the stream and go to her. Feigning sorrow, I stood on the opposite bank, with the woods at my back, and gave her a gentle smile.
