The cabbie only remembers taking a break, pulling over in an alley to catch both his breath and the sunrise. His windshield shatters, and two people dash away.

He tries to scream, to move, but his neck won't turn. He can only stare at the cab's dirty ceiling.

Finally, a deliveryman calls the cops. Surely, they'll arrive soon, but we're pinned in place right along with him as he tries to puzzle it all out.

In this second installment of the CSAP novella series, award-winning author L. Marie Wood uses her descriptive powers to bring us fully into one incident in a person's life, and hold us there, transfixed, until we see it all, crystal clear.

Praise for L. Marie Wood"Wood's haunting vision of the human journey through life/death and everything in between delivers riveting work that fascinates and thrills.

"-Linda D. Addison, HWA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient and SFPA Grand Master"Suspenseful and gripping, Wood crafts psychological horror you can't put down!" -John Edward Lawson, author of Bibliophobia".
