The Pilgrimage

". . . In the half-light just before dawn, he quickly cleaned the blood and hair from the knife.  That done, he snapped the blade back into the handle, slid the switchblade into his boot, and stuck out his thumb.  Tony liked to hitch, even if snagging a ride was getting tougher and tougher . . ."

Originally published nationally in The Scream Factory Magazine, Issue 6, 1991

The Music Lover

Distance.

Cold, dark despair. . ."
