Two Sneak Peek Excerpts
- – Stilo
Like water running a rough bank, Stilo avoided bodies slumped against walls. Gingerly sidestepped spots on the floor creaking too loudly or threatened to break.
Emilio, his friend and assistant, trailed tightly behind him, stubbing his feet on unresponsive legs, ignoring the stench of urine weeping down walls as he fought to keep balanced.
Nothing of this bothered the two men. Stink was part of life.
When you quit smelling the bad, you died.
More important was finding the right person. Someone to deflect opinion to in the media. Someone those coming to town for the drug conference could pin the reasons why on.
Addicts from outside Vermont.
Outsiders.
They were why the state’s deadly drug problem persisted.
Not, Stilo smiled, businessmen like himself.
2. – Samantha
No, my respite was innocence. The children I worked with, traveled with.
The morning’s news alert flickered across my mind again.
More overdoses. Another drug dealer murdered.
How did the two tie in? Was there a vigilante relative of druggies going after the responsible dealers? Or just any dealers?
No. Wait. I straightened my legs. This was not something I needed getting into.
Problems in my home state. If it wasn’t the winters it was drugs.
I inhaled deeply.
Let the news drift to a mental corner to wait its turn.
Hoping a cobweb would coat my worries.
Drug overdoses.
Random murders.
Were the two the same?
Conscious creative happiness.
How the hell would those two fit together?
I choke-laughed to myself, nearly waking Mike beside me.
