Excerpt: The Quest

A lone boy ran through the woods. He had no idea what was chasing him, but he knew why it was. He had conspired against The Man. To steal his treasure. It had to be done, the man was just going to amass more stuff, and soon he would rule all the worlds. He just needed one more thing…
The alarm broke the thoughts of the boy. A dream. It was all a dream. Another psychic one, no doubt. This was the third one this month. He could tell by the way the back of his head felt on fire but the rest of his body became like ice. He decided not to tell anyone about this dream. The last time he did that, it resulted the lose of Denise’s mother. Denise was his best friend. But when he told Denise about the last psychic flash, her mom just disappeared.
“Duncan! Time for breakfast!” The boy, apparently Duncan, had his thoughts broken by his mother’s call for eggs and toast. “Coming, mom!” As he got dressed to go downstairs, Duncan thought, at least I learned one thing from the vision. He knew who could help them. One Alex Cove.
