The cabbie only remembers taking a break, pulling over in an alley to catch both his breath and the sunrise. His windshield shatters, and two people dash away. He tries to scream, to move, but his neck won’t turn. He can only stare at the cab’s dirty ceiling. Finally, a deliveryman calls the cops. Surely, they’ll arrive soon, but we’re pinned in place right along with him as he tries to puzzle it all out.

In this second installment of the CSAP novella series, award-winning author L. Marie Wood uses her descriptive powers to bring us fully into one incident in a person’s life, and hold us there, transfixed, until we see it all, crystal clear.

“Suspenseful and gripping, Wood crafts psychological horror you can’t put down!”
John Edward lawson, author of Bibliophobia

“Filled to its brim with heart, this intensely unsettling and unflinchingly honest tale will not only introduce readers to an unforgettable character at his worst moment, but it also demands that they take a long, hard look at themselves, especially after reaching the book’s perfect ending.”
