Rear-View Murder: a Gemma Stone Cozy Mystery
“The low hanging limbs slapped her face, stinging her skin and bringing tears to her eyes. Her lungs were on fire. An intense, dank, rotting smell filled her nose. When she looked back over her shoulder, she could see nothing but trees and fog. Somehow she knew that something was back there, coming. Something was after her and she had no idea who or what it was.
In some part of her mind, Gemma knew she was having a nightmare, and she kept telling herself that as she continued to run. But that di...dn’t keep her from stumbling on or being terrified of what might catch her.
Suddenly, a car appeared in front of her and she skidded to a stop. The car was blue and the trunk was open. Gemma crept forward slowly, as silently as she could, reached out and lifted the trunk lid. It was slippery wet and her finger slipped on the cold metal. She eventually had to use both hands to get it open. Even in her dream, Gemma braced herself for what she knew was in there.
It was empty.
She let out her breath, closed the trunk, and rested her head against the trunk lid.MoreLess
