Evergreen: She's No Doll

(2019)
A novel by

 
 
The darkness of her confinement was as if she had suddenly gone blind, it was that dark.
The first instinct was to panic. No amount of training can overcome that initial response. What the training does, however, is help you fight through the panic and allow clear thinking to emerge.
She could feel the sides of her confinement with her hands. They were made of wood. The air was damp and smelled stale. She slowed her breathing to sips because she didn’t know how much air was available and needed to conserve what there was or risk suffocating.
She reached up and touched the ceiling. It was also made of wood and maybe a foot above her face.
She swallowed the terror in her chest and tried to remember how this came to pass and couldn’t. The last thing she remembered was …
Her utility belt, it was still around her waist.
She felt for her weapon and it was in the holster on her right hip. On her left hip was the two-battery Maglite she always carried and she withdrew it from the sheath. Her hands shook a bit as she clicked it on.
Immediately she recognized her confinement.
She was inside a cheap pine coffin.
Jesus Christ, she had been buried alive.
