#eBook The wits leech by Julia A. Girard
The wind howled through the empty streets of Abner, Nebraska, carrying with it a chill that seemed to seep into your bones. A bitter, unnatural cold.
The town was small, barely more than a wide spot in the road—but it had once felt like home. Now, there was something in the air, something foul, a tension that no one could shake. No one talked about it directly, but you could feel it in the way people glanced over their shoulders, the way the old clock tower stood still, its hands forever frozen at midnight. There was no movement in the town except for the wind. Even the dogs stopped barking.
Tommy Wells, the sheriff, stood on the porch of the old diner, his coat pulled tight against his chest. The last of the sun’s light was fading, swallowed by the dark, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that the darkness was coming from somewhere deeper. He had spent his life in this town, but tonight, it felt different, thicker, somehow, like it was pressing against his ribs. There was no one left to talk to. Not really.
Julia A. Girard is a writer who'd rather be caught dead than serious. Her stories and books are a delightful blend of witty observations, quirky characters, and laugh-out-scary moments that will have you hooked from the first page.
