Chapter 1
Bunny
Death Canyon, Texas.
Population thirty-four.
Thirty-four fucking people.
Well, thirty-four fucking people and me.
Not that being here is a choice.
Who the fuck chooses to live somewhere called Death Canyon?
Technically, this so-called town is right on the edge of a place tourists love to come hike.
Explore.
Fall to their fucking deaths.
Whatever.
All shit I do not plan on doing nor did I come here to do.
And to be fair, I didn’t actually come here by choice.
My car just…stopped.
Because that’s what cars with shitty maintenance history do.
They shit out on you.
Funny thing is…people with shitty self-maintenance do the same thing.
Like the one that’s hunting me.
The one I need to continue to get miles away from before he gets wind of the fact that I’ve fled the latest city he followed me to.
I left around two in the morning to increase my chances that perhaps I picked a night where he was actually sleeping instead of just reviewing older footage, he got off a camera he somehow placed in my apartment.
See, he is definitely a person that could benefit from some self-maintenance…like some extensive therapy…or…some very strong prescription drugs…or an electric chair.
I really think the latter is his best option.
Or maybe it’s just my best option.
You know.
For surviving.
At least until my thirty-first birthday.
Reaching over into my black go bag in the passenger seat, I retrieve my burner cell – the only safe type for me to have – and my lucky Mickey Mouse pen that I got on the only family vacation we ever took.
Most magical place on earth my ass.
I got lost.
