Chapter 14 Friday Morning – St. Agatha’s Cemetery As Anthony Love stood atop the small hill in St. Agatha’s cemetery, the wind ripped through his deep purple robes and his lush chestnut brown hair so that he looked like he was flying.  A large percentage of the population of Nightfall had gathered in the early …
