First Chapter/First Paragraph

Chapter 1

Ree asked Jeanette if she ever watched the square of light from the window. Jeanette said she didn’t. Ree was in the top bunk, Jeanette in the bottom. They were both waiting for the cells to unlock for breakfast. It was another morning.

Teaser Tuesday 

“Busy day,” she said to the moths once more circling her, “Busy, busy day.”

When the shed blew she did not turn around, nor did she flinch when a piece of corrugated steel whickered over her head. – 4%

Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King and Owen King

Goodreads Synopsis

In a future so real and near it might be now, something happens when women go to sleep; they become shrouded in a cocoon-like gauze. If they are awakened, if the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed or violated, the women become feral and spectacularly violent; and while they sleep they go to another place. The men of our world are abandoned, left to their increasingly primal devices. One woman, however, the mysterious Evie, is immune to the blessing or curse of the sleeping disease. Is Evie a medical anomaly to be studied, or is she a demon who must be slain?
