My book Everlasting Love is now free on the Kindle Select Program.
Tomorrow is my long day at work so I'll be back on the weekend.
Cliffhanger
from Everlasting Love by Rosemary Indra.
In a small town he had to be
cautious. Driving too close to his intended victim would be obvious. He’d
lagged back allowing more distance between his car and the one in front of him.
When several vehicles exited the highway, he hung back even farther. His prey
was no longer insight but he knew the Chevy was still there. He gripped the
steering wheel tighter and tried to be patient.
As the city gave way to the
mountainous forest, he saw his opportunity; pressing on the accelerator he
started to close the space between them. Now, in this isolated wildness, he
needed to move in for the kill.
No one would find a body or the
missing vehicle for some time. This was the perfect setup. No witnesses. No
surveillance cameras. For once and all, he could loosen the chain around his
neck and live a carefree life again.
He sped up and still no sign of the
other tail lights. The driver must have turned off to another road. He’d passed
countless roads since entering the highway. Finding which road the other
vehicle used would be impossible.
He wiped his hand across the back of his neck. Pulling over
to the side of the road, gravel crunched beneath his tires. He pounded his fist
on the steering wheel. He’d quit his search for now. He’d find his victim
another time. Then he’d free himself from his burden.
