For Larison, a man off the grid and on the run, the sleepy northern California town of Arcata, gateway to the state's fabled Lost Coast, seems like a perfect place to disappear for a while. But Arcata isn't nearly as sleepy as it seems, and when three locals decide Larison would make a perfect target for their twisted sport, Larison exacts a lifetime of vengeance in one explosive evening.
Warning: this story is intended for mature audiences, and contains depictions of sexual activity, though perhaps not in the way you're expecting. 6600 words . Download includes an excerpt from the new John Rain novel, The Detachment , featuring Larison, Rain, Dox, Treven, and others. Also includes a fun interview with novelist J.A. Konrath, a terrific writer, great friend, and the person most responsible for getting me to try a short story and to try indie publishing, as well. So if you have any complaints at all about the story, obviously the person to blame is Joe.
