Shadow of a Broken Man
“George continued to gape while I stood, paralyzed with shock, for what could only have been fractions of a second but seemed like hours. I couldn't believe that anyone, even a "freak," could cold-bloodedly murder three men, two of whom were helpless. Then I remembered Abu.

I kept my face covered until I felt a branch lash my forearm.MoreLess
