Excerpt from GREATER THAN ANGELS
by Carol Matas

IT IS SO CRAMPED, curled up against the wall, hidden by the woodpile. I would give anything to be able to stretch my legs.

Klara whispers in my ear. "I feel like we've been in here for hours. How much longer, do you think?"

I whisper back. "I don't know. I don't hear anything anymore, and it must be three or four o'clock by now. Still, I know Madame Debard will let us out as soon as it's safe, so it must not be safe."

"What are you guys talking about?" Klara asks.

"Gurs. What about you?"

"Me too. I was thinking about your concerts."

"I hear something!" I hiss. "Quiet!"

Twigs snap, I can hear the crunch of boots on the ground. As long as they don't torture me, I think. Just let them shoot me. I don't think I could stand up to torture for more than a minute. Then I'd tell them anything. Anything.
