Hey all….anyone miss my writing? Summer is still going so I am still busy working and too sleepy to write but it my day off and I feel good….plus got new idea just now for a story. Not sure when I'll update my stuff…perhaps in September when I am off work as it's a summer/on-call job.
Anyway here is a prologue…a bit angst here.
He couldn't believe his eyes as he traveled the off beaten path.
He had taken the wrong turn and instead turned down an unmarked road. A road perfect for dumping a body.
And sure enough, he did stumble upon a body. A body he knew well. His throat closed up and he choked on his saliva as he struggled to breathe.
"No….my god no…" he whispered as he pulled over. He raced out of the car and hurried to the limp body laying by the tree.
He felt for a pulse and an immense surge of relief swam through him.
"Oh thank god he is still alive" he said as he sank back on his legs in relief.
When his silent celebration ended, he took in his friend's ragged appearance. His bruised and torn up face, rags that were once clothing and pale ghostly skin made him feel sick to his stomach.
"All right enough stalling DiNozzo" he chided himself and got to work. He carefully moved his friend away from the tree. He was like a rag doll as he stood a moment later with the limp body.
"Have you really been here for four days kid? Man, your stronger then I thought Palmer" he whispered in awe as he carried his friend to his car.
