Select Passages
From Chapter 1
It was like coming out of a dream... And yet in ???'s mind there was heaviness, a drug-induced daze...
"Smile for me..." The voice was insistent... “Careful, my girl. Careful,” came a casual reply.
She gave token resistance as her hands continued to be stroked, and then slowly coaxed behind her, and only when she heard the crisp snapping sound of a plastic zip-tie clasping her wrists tightly together did she attempt to protest.
Sadly, though, clarity came far too late… The plastic bag sucked to her face like shrink-wrap.
“Don’t fight it. Please...” The voice was insistent. “Just let it take you... It’s merciful. Trust me! Just go with it...”
From Chapter 5
“You can’t be serious!” ??? snorted.
“I’m very serious!” came the terse reply. The darkened figure backed up several paces in the moonlight before a backdrop of glistening ocean and dazzling, white stars...
“No,” she said defiantly. “I won’t do it.”
“Yes you will... You’re brave. Feisty and brave. I’ll give you that.”
??? gave a grunt of protest as the silencer first mingled with her short, neat, dark hair, and then gently kissed her scalp...
From Chapter 9
““Stupid girl. You earned this. So now you can show me something.”
With dazed eyes [she] looked up... Another series of long, shrill gasps followed, and then ??? began to claw her way forward as though she might escape her callous, murdering guest.
“Forget it, ???. It’s alright. It’s okay. Really, just relax. You’re already dead. Your body just doesn’t know it yet. Trust me. I know.”
“You're a pretty girl, ???,” came the torment. “You know that. You’ll make an excellent corpse for those folks down at the old ME’s office. They’re just gonna love you.”
“Nearly there...” came the taunt. “You can do it. Come on. Just a little more. Please, ???. Make it worth my while... Do you know why I’m killing you...? Do you?”
From Chapter 19
““Tell me this, Tony,” ??? asked lovingly, pausing momentarily, pleading with him to answer. “If I could give you another chance at life, would you make the most of it? Forgive me, won’t you.”
With that she moved the silencer back to rest against ???’s temple, smiled briefly and lovingly at him, then...
Purchase the unexpected conclusion to Just Me.
