Francine slipped out the side door of the dining room when Heicke turned his back.  Less than confident, she walked alone across the silent, black golf course.  Her imagination played tricks as the tree branches swayed in the cool breeze, casting spidery images of boogie men in front of her.  She looked up at the […]

Bastian stared regretfully at the ravaged beauty in the picture and pinned the photograph to the chart detailing River City’s latest serial killer’s M.O. His imagination could almost sense all the blood dripping from the board. She was his fifth addition to the list in as many months. One a month, precise as clockwork, they’d […]

Zebadiah LaCroy refused to flinch under his captain’s steely gaze. He knew the regulations as well as anyone and he knew what he was asking. He also knew that exceptions were made every day. He pressed his new bride closer to his side to stop her from squirming.
