On the end of Sargent Island, a small campfire burned, and so did - TopicsExpress

On the end of Sargent Island, a small campfire burned, and so did the anger inside the man sitting beside it. The Jack Daniels only fueled the anger and it was all he could do, not to act on it then and there. In his heart, he knew Allen had gotten what he deserved, but if there was one lesson his father had drilled into his brain…until it was part of his very being. It was, that you avenged your family. Although he could not stand his girly-man- brother, he was still his brother. Another draw off the bottle and a drink of beer only made it worse. At least he was in a place he truly liked. The waves pounded the beach and the sea breeze kept the skeeters away. Looking out at the water, he wanted to kill them both and get it over with. That would make his father proud, as well as quiet the voices. Looking back around at the fire, his father was standing beside it, wearing the same clothes he had been buried in. Albert started. “Daddy, I’m doing what you taught me to do. I just have to wait a little while, until the time is right. You remember how you taught me to track an animal and when the time was right, to kill it? Well, I’m tracking both of them, and when the time is right, I’ll drop em both.” His father didn’t answer; he stood there looking at him with his cold, dead eyes. Albert blinked and he was gone. The voices in his head were mumbling, but he shut them out when he saw Allen standing in the same place. There was blood all over his shirt and dripping onto the sand, making black spots. He had no eyeballs, only empty sockets. The flesh had already begun to recede from his face and he had no lips. He was rotting. His arm went up and he pointed in the direction of the trailer that Stephanie lived in. His jaw moved and he said, “Send her to me Albert. You owe me. We are family.” Only $2.99 in ebook and $8.96 in paperback amazon.co.uk/Sea-Gypsy-Savannah-Black-ebook/dp/B00I1KKBXM/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1408387826&sr=1-2&keywords=sea+gypsy+by+savannah+black&tag=ethings-21
