"One twist of the lid changed everything…"
Synopsis
One twist of the lid changed everything…
The devil sat on my shoulder from my first breath, he watched my every move, and with the first strike of lightnin' I was pulled under.
Walking into Boondocks the voice of an angel called to me and I vowed to live a better life. She kept me on the righteous path until Satan called one last time.
It was time to take him down or lose my angel forever.
Excerpt
Walker
Watching her
place her perfect lips on the side of Logan’s face made me cringe. I know I
have no right to feel this way, but those two have something that I can’t quite
understand, and I’m jealous. The question is, what do I do about it? As
she walks toward me with a huge smile on her face, all my craziness evaporates
into the evening sky.
“You ready?” she
asks.
“As I’ll ever
be,” I reply.
After swinging
my leg over my bike, I pass Chauna a helmet, and we put them on together. As
she swings her leg over, I hold still and wait for the moment she wraps her
arms around me. I take a deep breath as she eases into me and rev the engine to
life; all eyes are on us.
“Hold on tight,”
I say, and she pulls herself even closer. We take the driveway slow, but when
we hit the main road, I pull the throttle and we pick up speed as we make our
way toward Sammy’s. As we approach the drive-in, I realize that Chauna is
completely right; this place is nothing like it was earlier today. The Sammy’s
Drive-In light is lit up like Christmas, and it reminds me of Flo’s Café in the
movie Cars. There’s so much neon, and instead of cars, there are monster trucks
everywhere. Pulling the bike in, we park, and I look to Chauna for direction as
country music plays in the background.
“Welcome to
Barber. Where the trucks are hot, but the girls are hotter,” she says with pure
sexiness. In this moment, I know that this is just the beginning of an epic,
new chapter in my life.
