SUMMARY: Grady has found a crack in the wall—a crack to the outside world. But all he knows about life outside the compound comes from books, magazines, and a photograph of a creature that no longer exists. Things change when he meets a girl with raspberry-yellow hair, and a secret that could lead them to a world beyond the walls. A world where their abilities could change everything … or lead them both to ruin.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Kyle lives in the suburban wilds of Canada with his adorable wife, their rambunctious son, and their adventurous daughter. He writes about shapeshifters, superheroes, and the occasional clockwork beast, moonlights as an editor at Meerkat Press, and has a terrible habit of saying the wrong thing at the most inopportune moments. His short fiction has appeared in places such as Love Hurts: A Speculative Fiction Anthology and Daily Science Fiction.
Grady finds it in the spring, when the leaves are sprouting
from the trees in tiny pink-green buds. There are no trees in the courtyard,
there's only dirt and rocks and other kids that look like Grady—their heads
shaven, their clothes loose and gray, the skin under their eyes a creamy blue
and red. But Grady has found a crack in the wall, a crack that wasn't there
before—a crack that isn't supposed to be. Whenever the guards aren't looking,
he leans his face against the wall and peers through the crack at the world
outside. He does this with his left eye first. Always his left eye first. The
gap is so tiny it's like squinting through a nostril. But in that nostril
there's the sky, purple as a bruise, and beneath it there are scrawny trees
with tiny pink-green buds. Today the trees bend and sway, like they know
Grady's watching. Like they're dancing just for him. And his cracked lips
spread until he's smiling, big and dumb.
This is when he hears the voice. "What're you looking
at?" The voice comes from behind him, small and smooth and wild, like the
picture of the horse taped to the ceiling above his cot. It knocks something
loose in him, something that tumbles free, something that falls but doesn't
seem to ever land. Whatever it is, it just keeps on falling, lost somewhere
inside him. Grady frowns and squirms, but the stupid feeling doesn't quit.
"Go away," he tells the voice. He doesn't bother to turn. "I'm
looking at spring," he adds, "but you wouldn't know what that
is."
The voice that's like a wild horse, it tells him, "I do
too know what spring is. And I know that you're mean and I don't like
you." Then the voice is gone, and a guard walks by, and Grady looks away
from the wall as if the crack isn’t there at all. And stomping away from him
straight across the courtyard, like she's trying to knock the world off orbit
with the weight of her footsteps alone, is a skinny girl with loose gray
clothes and raspberry-yellow hair.
Grady raises his eyebrows. Whatever that thing is inside
him, it tumbles even faster.
This captivating story is special and interests me greatly. A Canadian author who is creative and talented. Thanks for this great feature and giveaway.
