Hekate: The Witch (Goddesses of the Underworld #1)

81. Devastation

Devastation

Has someone ever

changed your existence

with just a few words?

Has the world

beneath your feet

ever simply fallen away?

I thought I knew terror.

I thought I had faced loss.

But nothing could prepare me

for this.

For just a few seconds

I too was Atlas,

all of the heavens

on my shoulders

crushing me

till nothing was left.
