I’d worked my entire life to forget, to
fight and forget. To become a man, to never look back. But I’m stuck in a
revolving door, no matter how many times I push, all I ever really do is stay
in place. I’d flown halfway across the world, but could never outrun Texas.
Could never get away, because the dog is always on my heels, always there to
remind me who I really am.
Squeezing my eyes shut, a terrible sound
draws from my mouth, one I’d never heard before. I can’t do this anymore, can’t
pretend, can’t keep lying that it isn’t hurting, isn’t killing me a little
every day.
He wins, but I think in the end he
always knew that.
Okay, that's it, be sure to check out the other www.wewirwa.com authors!
I'm aiming to release A Moment sometime next week! I'll update here soon as I pinpoint an exact date.
Happy reading,

I love the tone of his voice. Great snippet!
Wow! A BIG haunting secret buried in his thoughts. Deeply flawed characters are the best--and you write this one so well! :-) Great 8, Marie! :-)
POWERFUL 8! And your character is right, no matter where you go, you simply can't outrun Texas! Love it!
Loved your 8! Can't wait to read the whole thing!
Intense and I SO feel for him - can't wait to read the entire story. Excellent excerpt!
Wow, that is intense pain and suffering. I was reminded of Darth Vader (just spent the weekend watching the first three Star Wars movies) and his desperate pain. Nicely done, Marie. :)
Intense. You're right about his head being a dark and lonely place. He needs a happy thought.
A mysterious snippet! Now I want to know what he's talking about!
