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…
