Blood Trail
“Mom told me softly as we walked to the church door for Aaron’s funeral.
Easier said than done, when I’d been getting hate calls for three days. When people who didn’t even know me were saying I was a lying bastard lower than dog doo. When I was wearing a suit and I felt dressed up like a circus monkey. When there were news photographers climbing the trees to snap pictures of me. When even the stony old mountains seemed to be watching me. But screw all that. I did what Mom said. I yanked my eyes... off the pavement and looked around as we reached the end of the line waiting to go in.
People looked at me, then looked away like they didn’t know what to do or say. Three guys from the football team walked over to me and muttered, “Hi, Booger,” then stood beside me looking the same way.
A few people glared. “Dirty liar,” taunted a girl’s voice from the crowd.
“None of that, miss,” growled one of the cops at the door. There were uniformed police everywhere. Crowd control, I guess.MoreLess
