PROLOGUE
“Well, hey…Trent, buddy? I
thought that was you.”
The man appeared out of nowhere
as Trent was walking out of the restaurant. He stopped right in front of him, blocking
his path, and halting his progress.
He looked so familiar, but in
the moment he couldn’t recall why. A friend from university? A business
associate?
He was about to ask how they
knew each other, when the man slapped a hand to his upper arm, then reached for
his hand. He held it for a moment. Shook it once. But then changed his hold in
an instant and gripped his wrist instead. Tugged on it with sharp, painful
force. The unexpected action jerked him forward and almost off balance, and
into the discomfiting position of being no more than a foot away from what he
now recognized as imminent danger.
He looked directly into black, limitless
beady eyes and felt strange…as the man leaned in, almost nose to nose with him
now, his voice barely above a whisper…
“He despised you, yuh know that?”
“What?” Trent’s question came
out dull and distant to his ears. With none of the sharpness he expected, given
his mounting alarm. Plus, all of a sudden, he was beginning to lose sensation
in his extremities. Feeling disconnected and as though he was about to pass out,
he staggered back a step.
What in the hell…?
The man’s mouth opened, as
though to say something else, but then his eyes grew wide. His features
contorted in evident fear. His head twisted around as he looked back, over his
shoulder.
Right before he exploded. In a
blast of tiny, dark grey particles.
Caught off guard, Trent yelled
out. Held his hands up as a burst of the man’s dusty remnants hit his face and
body.
And then he heard it.
Loud and jarring, it seemed to
echo somewhere near his left ear.
SNAP!
As the ground beneath him fell
away…
