The
back door, I discover, is unlocked. I’m one hundred percent certain
I didn’t leave it that way. Carefully, keeping my body behind the
door, I scan the yard. The light filtering from the kitchen windows
is bright enough for me to see that there is no one in my little
square of turf. It also shows me crushed tomato plants and bean vines
torn from their trellises, clearly marking the intruder’s escape
route.
At
that point, my rage finally overwhelms my fear. I pour myself a
finger of scotch and sit at the kitchen table, simmering in helpless
anger and vowing some kind of revenge.
Then a horrible thought crosses my mind. Jimmy knew I would be out tonight. He was the only one who knew. Was it possible that he was involved in all this, somehow? Is it possible that smiling Jimmy might have betrayed me?
The balance shifts again. Shudders shake my body. Sitting alone under the fluorescent lights, gripping my drink, I am paralyzed by the realization that I don’t know who I can trust. If anyone.

ReplyDeleteAnd coming from BWL it has to be a goodie.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
Love the cover and your few lines were a real teaser. I've shared this on my blog and through FB and Google, plus it will be tweeted through Triberr, but I did tweet from here with the link, too. Best of luck to you my friend. You're a dynamic author and a fantastic pal.
