Tightrope

Read Tightrope Storyline:

A short story about conscience and the destructiveness of desire. In a nameless, empty desert, a man has to walk across two wires to reach the other side of the cliff. Should he make it, the world will unfold at his feet. But does he have the will to do it? And can he face what he will find on the other side?Sophie has lost count of all the foster homes she’s lived in. Finally, at Joel and Kalene’s ranch, she feels at home. When she unwittingly puts their most valuable mare, Aria, in danger, she is terrified she’ll be sent away and conceals her mistake – and Aria – letting her foster parents believe the mare was stolen. Then Sophie is hit by a car. She knows she must go to Aria as soon as she can, though she’s not sure how she’s going to carry hay with a broken arm. But feeling hungry is not Aria’s biggest problem, for a terrible evil has found her and knows she is alone.
