I first thought this was going to be a story about a mass shooting and the immediate aftermath, more about the pursuit of the attackers and those involved in the investigation. Reed went into law enforcement and Simone expressed her feelings through art. Survivors Reed Quartermaine and Simone Knox followed paths that weren’t part of their original destinies until that event in the mall. Three shooters decided that whatever was wrong in their lives warranted the selfish actions they took in those moments. In the space of a few minutes, the lives of those visiting or working at the DownEast Mall and adjacent theater in Rockpoint, Maine were permanently altered. And as the survivors slowly heal, find shelter, and rebuild, they will discover that another conspirator is lying in wait-and this time, there might be nowhere safe to hide. Another would close herself off, trying to bury the memory of huddling in a ladies' room, hopelessly clutching her cell phone-until she finally found a way to pour her emotions into her art.īut one person wasn't satisfied with the shockingly high death toll at the DownEast Mall. In the years that followed, one would dedicate himself to a law enforcement career. But for those who lived through it, the effects would last forever. The chaos and carnage lasted only eight minutes before the killers were taken down. Mothers and children shopped together, and the manager at the video-game store tended to customers. A boy flirted with the girl selling sunglasses. Three teenage friends waited for the movie to start. It was a typical evening at a mall outside Portland, Maine. Sometimes, there is nowhere safe to hide.

I didn’t even format my own posts at first! She reads such a wide number of genres and an excellent quality of books. She was always so helpful to me, as I knew so little.

I “met” her when we were both with The Book Nympho, for 3 years 2015-2017. Today’s friend is the Jonetta from Blue Mood Cafe.
