Excerpt from
Everlasting Love

Rosemary Indra
Prologue
In a small town he had to be cautious.
Driving too close to his intended victim would be obvious. He’d lagged back
allowing more distance between his car and the one in front of him. When
several vehicles exited the highway, he hung back even farther. His prey was no
longer insight but he knew the Chevy was still there. He gripped the steering
wheel tighter and tried to be patient.
As the city gave way to the
mountainous forest, he saw his opportunity; pressing on the accelerator he
started to close the space between them. Now, in this isolated wildness, he
needed to move in for the kill.
No one would find a body or the missing vehicle for
some time. This was the perfect set up. No witnesses. No surveillance cameras.
For once and all, he could loosen the chain around his neck and live a carefree
life again.
He sped up and still no sign of the other tail
lights. The driver must have turned off to another road. He’d passed countless
side roads since entering the highway. Finding which road the other vehicle
used would be impossible.
He wiped his hand across the
back of his neck. Pulling over to the side of the road, gravel crunched beneath
his tires. He pounded his fist on the steering wheel. He’d quit his search for
now. He’d find his victim another time. Then he’d free himself from his burden.
