Lights Out
L.T. Fawkes
BLUE-COLLARING A KILLER… You may not think it, but life moves fast in northeastern
Ohio. Just six months ago, I was down-and-out—stewing in
jail and getting dumped by my pit-bull of a wife. Now, I’m
back on my feet renovating a bar, delivering pizza, and
thinking of cutting my hair.
Just when I’m getting comfortable, the you-know-what hits
the fan. There I am, sitting in Brewster’s–eating my Number
Four breakfast with the guys–when in walks the devil
herself: my soon-to-be-ex-wife Marylou, high hair and all.
She asks me to help her move. I say no. End of story.
Right…
That night, a man is knocked off in my own trailer park,
and who’s caught holding the gun? Marylou. Drunk as a
skunk. She doesn’t remember a thing. She may be mean as a
junkyard dog, but Marylou’s no killer. The cops—mighty
familiar with my reputation for butting in—warn me to butt
out. But, I’m stubborn. And no one’s getting away with
murder in my backyard…
