He lit a cigarette, his gloved hand trembling only slightly, and stared down Main Street. A stray dog slunk across the wet pavement and into the shadows. A church bell rang even though it was too early for service.
He should’ve never come back.
But a letter changes things.
A letter in his sister’s handwriting that read:
“Nathan. It's happening again. Come home. Please.”
That was all. No signature. No return address. Just that.
