The Last Call of Mourning

Yarrows do not die. People do. The family motto. Cynthia Yarrow laughs as she returns to Oxrun Station, her old hometown. The family is assembled to greet the prodigal-but they have changed in the years Cyd's been away.

Cyd's mother cuts herself but does not bleed. One evening a horrified Cyd discovers her father's lifeless body-only to see him alive and laughing just minutes later.

Everything is fine, they assure her-she'll understand as soon as she visits Dr. Kraylin. When Cyd refuses, she is pursed through Oxrun Station's street by a powerful grey limousine.

As the death-car bears down on her, she wonders, is she still a Yarrow-or is she their next target?
