Behind the Stars
By Leigh Talbert Moore
© 2014, Leigh T. Moore
The guards moved among
us, placing dentist-office Dixie cups of what looked like water in front of
everyone. A separate guard came to where I sat on the floor, clutching my
knees. She lightly took my arm.
“Please return to the table.” Her voice was smooth.
“You’ve had a shock. Have some water.”
I wasn’t about to drink anything they gave us.
It was Day One all over again, only this time, it was Guyana. We were all being
served the Kool-Aid. Next stop, mass graves.
Stupidly, my friends and fellow prisoners had no
such qualms. Didn’t anybody watch the History channel? I stared as they all
took shaky sips without hesitation.
“Just take a small sip.” The female guard was
still with me. “It’ll calm you.”
My throat constricted. My whole body was on
revolt. Shaking my head, I didn’t meet her eyes. I only stared at the white cup
of water. Braxton was at my side, and he drained his. What the hell made him do
that? Did he want to die?
Seconds ticked past and nothing happened. Nobody
passed out. Nobody did anything strange—except forget what we’d just witnessed
here. Braxton picked up his fork to finish his lunch. They all did. Like one of
us had not just been taken out
“swiftly and finally.”
Only he had, and I was reeling from the shock.

About the Author
Leigh Talbert Moore wrote her first graphic novel at the age of nine--about a lady scientist burned by acid. Sadly, the text of "Fury Woman" was lost, and Leigh's novelist aspirations went on hiatus.
Then, after a decade working in journalism, editing, marketing, and public relations, she began writing books again, and in 2009 completed Dragonfly. Today, Leigh is the author of several popular young adult and new adult novels, all with a strong romantic slant.
She lives with her husband and two young children in the middle of the country, where she conjures new worlds, characters, and situations while playing chauffeur, chaperone, group activity leader, and referee. And she's still trying to remember the plot of Fury Woman...
