That never should have happened. “ItContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty”

NOT EDITED Bonnie tilted her head back against the cold metal pole as a door closed above her. She had come to assume that particular door was one that led outside.

NOT EDITED “I heard about Carol. It’s absolutely horrific,” the high school’s receptionist, Lilly, whispered. “Do you guys think it’s related to Bonnie?” “I’m sorry, Lilly, I can’t say much about an ongoing investigation,” Jeff said. “Not even to me?” Jeff shook his head. “I’m sorry, Lil. I can’t. But, uh, hey. I’ve got aContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Fourteen”
