Short Story 003

By in Fiction, Short stories, Writing

The journey comes into its concluding moments, unraveling with ever increasing intensity to the last showdown.

The pale lights from the drug lords’ pad came filtering through the thick branches so suddenly that Oliver instinctively pulled up and stopped, doubling over to catch his breath. But what he saw would not let his heart stop racing. He found himself at the edge of a forest overlooking a clearing in a shallow valley, hemmed in on three sides by trees with a gravel road snaking away and to the west. But what kept his heart hammering against the sides of his throat was the coal-grey establishment sitting directly in the centre of the valley staring coldly back at him with lifeless eyes—-an obtrusive and fear-inducing smudge on the horizon. It was the last place he ever wanted to be, but the one place he would find the person he now knew mattered most to him.

A section from Return: The third and final chapter in the journey begun with Mistake and followed through by Equitable.
