The Devil's Graveyard
“Actually, that was an understatement, for in reality it was without doubt the most stressful day of the year.
For starters, the Back From The Dead contest took a heck of a lot of organizing. The schedule was tight, and there were lots of performers to see, some good, some bad and others so downright awful it would be funny, if it weren’t Powell’s money that paid for them to be here. Getting the show finished by the deadline of one o’clock the following morning was the toughest part. No one else... seemed to appreciate the urgency of finishing on time.
So far, this year had been worse than ever. There was something untoward going on. People had tried to fix the competition before – that is, fix it without knowing that Powell had already had it fixed – but this year someone was having one hell of a good crack at it. Powell had three dead contestants already. He also had a psychotic assassin with the ridiculous name ‘Invincible Angus’ working for him. ‘Angus’, for Chrissakes.MoreLess
