Land of the Blind, Part 4
4 – Eyes Spliced Open Roan wondered if he fell asleep before Holden did. Holden had just gone back to his bedroom when Roan stared up at his ceiling and yawned, wondering if the upstairs neighbor really was rollerblading (that’s what it sounded like), and it seemed like no time at all passed when he suddenly woke up in the chair where he had dozed off. Holy shit – he’d taken too many pills. He checked his watch, and was relieved to see he’d only lost an hour. He ventured into Holden’s bedroom, to make sure he was asleep. He was, laying on his side (good – it wasn’t likely he’d vomit in his sleep, but still it was a good idea), half his blanket pooling on the floor. Roan picked it up and draped it over his torso, and on...

3 – Camera Shy If this jackass wasn’t taking the piss – and it really seemed like he wasn’t – then the world had gone from simply insane to bugfuck insane. “You are aware I loathe everything you stand for?” “I’m aware there’s been a problem in communication,” Bolt replied blandly. “Are you also aware I’m an atheist?” “Our Church is open to all of our infected brethren, no matter their belief system. Or lack thereof.” Roan shook his head. He knew he was incredibly drugged up, so he looked at Fiona, who seemed just as startled as he was, and asked, “Is this actually happening, or am I hallucinating?” “If you’re hallucinating, so am I,” she replied. Okay, that settled that. “I’ll give you...

2 – Born On A Day The Sun Didn’t Rise Roan was prepared to be arrested. Perhaps that’s why it didn’t happen. He didn’t know either of the cops that arrived, but they seemed to know who he was, and as he told them what happened, Nadia came out and verified his story, agreeing that Roan only hit him with his fist, and he’d only punched him after Mike tried to hit him with the crowbar. This was a lie, as Nadia wasn’t out in time to see it, but they believed her, and he wasn’t about to point out his client was lying. When the EMTs arrived, he recognized the female one as Nicole Corbett, one of Dee’s friends. As such, she gave him an out. When he said he punched him and fractured his skull, she shook her head and said,...

Please keep in mind my Amazon e-book, and the fact that I need reviewers! So if you want to review the first four books in the Infected series there, I’d consider that a personal favor. Thank you. **** The Land of the Blind **** 1 – Gimme Shelter Roan knew he never should have taken Nadia Rubin’s case the moment he took it. She couldn’t afford him, she’d know he was taking pity on her and would probably resent it, and it wasn’t his usual thing anyways. She was asking him to be a bodyguard as much as a detective, and that really wasn’t his thing. Still, how did you turn down a fellow infected? Especially when they were being threatened by another infected. It almost felt like a duty. What she was was a waitress who...
