  About the Author

  Final Breaths

  “I came home and walked in the house and nothing. Just vanished.”― Chris Watts to Denver7

  The LCD on the dashboard of the white Mitsubishi GT blinks three numerals in white: 1:47. Nickole Utoft Atkinson’s hail-damaged vehicle, with a year left to pay off, cruises silently through a brand new neighborhood. The scattering of new homes slumbering on the outskirts of Frederick glisten under the polish of stars wheeling over a Colorado night sky.

  The diamond-white beams turn into Saratoga Trail. The two 30-something women in the cabin are silent. It’s been a long night. Hours ago they were in another time, in another place, and if they’d stayed there, Shan’ann may have still had the rest of her life ahead of her.

  At 18:00 in Tempe the Le-vel girls have a bigger dinner and more drinks than expected when their flight is cancelled. As if the gods are determined to keep Shan’ann away from home, the power at the Thirsty Lion Gastropub & Grill goes out. The ladies post photos of themselves and their leftovers meals in the semi-darkness to Facebook. Shan’ann posts her final message to Facebook:

  Best way to leave Arizona with you and Addy and loss of power while eating dinner.
