Summary: For some people, words can kill. For some people, love can kill. And for others, secrets can kill. For Spot Conlon, all three apply.
Buried Under Stone
Chapter 1 – Secrets
Everybody has secrets. Deny it if you want to, but every person has a secret, no matter who they are. Even one secret counts, because everybody has at lease one. That one secret, however big or small it would be to some people, just happens to be the one thing that you wouldn't tell anybody. Not a soul.
Even if your life depended on it, you wouldn't say it, right?
But what if it wasn't your life depending on the revelation of that secret. What if the life belonged to some innocent person who had just been in the wrong place, at the wrong time?
Or what if it wasn't you or them? What if that person just happened to be the person you'd spent your whole life searching for. The person you'd give anything for.
The person you loved.
For some people, words can kill.
For some people, love can kill.
For others, secrets can kill.
And for Spot Conlon, all three apply.
