Denton - 03 - Way Past Dead
“There was something subliminally attractive and appealing about her. For a woman who couldn’t have weighed more than one ten, one fifteen tops, though, she sure carried a lot of weight around inside her.
I wondered what secrets she’s got.
The light turned at Wedgewood Avenue and I started to ease out into the intersection, then realized the fool to my left had no intention of stopping simply because the traffic light facing him had turned.

In this town, green doesn’t mean go; it means look both ways and, when all the idiots have finished running the light, proceed cautiously.

Her mailbox was jammed again, this time with a mixture of catalogs, junk mail, and windowed envelopes that looked like bills.MoreLess
