The Kingdom of Kevin Malone
“Dreading what I would see—not, please not, the skeletal horror that brought me here—I opened my sticky, smarting eyes. I lay in a small bare room with no roof under a starlit sky. A dark flag stirred overhead on a pole, like a huge, sleepy bat stretching and curling up again. That was the source of the flapping noise.
