Story Notes:

This was the first short story I completed after reading Bentley Little’s The Collection. I’d attempted another one before it, but quickly realized it was pure crap. I was gearing up to start working on the original draft of The Lurkers, but wanted to write something short before committing to another attempt at a novel. I wrote it in a day and was pretty pleased with it.

Shortly after that, my father passed away. Though he never killed a sheriff (that I know of), nor had to cover up anything evil that I’d done, the dad in this story was based on my own father. I’ve put my dad in other stories here and there, but this was the first and probably my favorite.

For a long time, the story was lost. A lot of emotional stress followed my dad’s death. Plus, we moved into a new house the following year. When I finally decided I was strong enough to revisit it, I couldn’t find it. Years later, and after another move to another house, I found the printed pages in a box and read over it. I was happy to find that I still liked the story. It needed a lot of tightening, but the foundation was solid. I put the pages away with plans to work on it after settling in.

I have yet to find those pages again. Thankfully, while searching a thumbdrive for something else almost a year ago, I came across the original file. What’s in this collection is the polished version. I hope you enjoyed it.
