Two people want me dead – One is inside my mind
The evil voice in my mind is determined to destroy me. A killer hunts me to protect his secrets.
What I remember most is the flies. The woman’s body in my field was covered in them. The swirling cloud of insects swarmed into the sky, and I stood in shock beneath their shadow. The buzzing from the flies in flight mixed with the buzzing of panic singing in my ears.
I knew this woman before she was shoved under a pile of brush. We weren’t friends – yet – but I’d liked her. I have trouble getting to know people. My extreme anxiety traps me on my farm – makes it hard for me to trust.
I trust the sheriff the least of all. After ten years, her betrayal still stings. In a small town, you’re forced to deal with people you’d rather avoid. Finding a murdered woman, half-eaten by pigs and missing a hand, puts things into perspective. She and I will just have to play nice.
Hopefully, the dark voice in my head will play nice, too.
I’m not sure which is worse – a killer desperate to keep me from finding the truth – or the killer in my mind. Maybe with a little courage, I can stop them both….
