“Wha—what do I have to do?” The man’s eyes narrowed as he peered down at me as I cowered on my hard, stained cot. It wouldn’t be so bad if they let us have sheets or a blanket, but they said we didn’t deserve it yet.
“Are you scared, little boy?” he snarled.
“No, sir,” I quickly answered and jumped to my feet.
“Good because today, you get to learn how precious life is and how fun it is to take it.” He grinned.

I JERKED AWAKE, covered in sweat. The blanket and sheets were balled up at the foot of the bed as usual. I rarely felt the need to cover myself when I slept. I snatched the corner of the cover up to my face and wiped off the perspiration, fighting to relax my aching jaw muscles. I must have clenched them in my sleep again.
I shook off the remnants of sleep and what was left of my memories of Frank. He was an evil son-of-a-bitch, and now he was a dead son-of-a-bitch. He was the only person I’d ever killed willingly. As usual, I waited for the feeling of guilt or remorse that I should have felt but never did. The familiar tsunami of aggression and anger crashed and flooded my senses, followed by the intense need for Monroe. It will be a while before I had her in my possession again, and when I get her, I will do one of two things—kill her or fuck her.
ALSO COMING MAY 2015!!!
