Begin
Chapter One Here
..."The woman looking out
from it had absolutely no reason - none at all - to suppose her
visitor was there with every intention of killing her. But,
truthfully, she had never really entertained good feelings about
him." ...
... "Maybe I'm
helpin' her along some but that's it, Brig, just helpin' along,
that's all. It ain't like I'm really killin' nobody." ...
Go to Chapter
Two Here
..."Tulee's dead." ...
..."Petula Creswell Main,
Liz's mother, strong willed to the point of obstinacy, easily
angered, easily injured, easily offended had, at last, 'gone home
to be with her Lord' as the obituary in the small town Tennessee
paper would say when it came out on the streets next Wednesday. It
was a simple thing, really."...
Go to Chapter
Three Here
..."So?" ...
..."So she's dead and the
funeral's Wednesday. My god, Jerry, this is the kids' grandmother.
You know they ought to be there." ...
