of all the stories I’ve ever written, this is the one that is the hardest for me to work with. Not because I get stuck or anything but the subject matter is leagues out of my comfort zone. There’s abduction, abuse, murder and such. It’s all a bit hard on me. Still, if I wrote it any differently, it wouldn’t be the story I fell in love with. I’m not trying to say that to be edgy. I’m saying it because, fuck, working on these characters is like drinking curdling milk in the dead of summer. The story opens in the mid 90s with a game of flashlight tag. There’s an extra player that nobody recalls inviting. Sometime soon after, Benji’s five year old brother, Kamen, goes missing.
