Memories of Darkness

Image


What a beautiful night to lie, staring up at the star-spangled sky…

For the moment, he is content to drift along and forget about all the things to come.

Yet, as the roar of the waterfall grows steadily louder, his life flashes before him.

First to visit are the memories of Dwayne…Yes, Dwayne, that handsome preacher who always enjoyed preaching against the evils of sin. Once upon a time, Vance had wanted to believe in him and his teachings. The memories of those happy days are quickly shoved aside by haunting visions of the murdered.

Unwelcome reminders of the sins that had brought him here to this point.

The point of no return.

Or is it?

What if there is yet a way of escape?

Even as the current continues to drag the canoe and its occupants toward their fate…even as the demons in his mind continue to chatter about the past…Vance begins to fight for his place in the future…

Memories of Darkness is a novella that twists its way through the darkest recesses of the human mind, hypocrisy, and finally climaxes in a desperate struggle to survive.

Recommended for people who prefer their thrills to be thoughtful…
