Excerpt

Gaven took the back stairs two at a time, emerging into the hall in the back of the bar. From there, he turned the old knob of the heavy wooden door and stepped out into a small parking lot behind the building. His uncle was at work in the bar and wouldn’t even know he’d left.

He walked around the establishment and out toward the road, glancing back to see a laughing couple enter the building as the sound of Bob Segar’s voice flowed into the street. When the door shut, the music grew muffled, and Gaven walked down the sidewalk with his hands in his pockets.

Clearwater, Wyoming was the total opposite of what he was used to. West Palm Beach had been flat, every street lined with palm trees, and nearly every road had multiple lanes. When he’d still had a car—before he wrecked it in an accident that wasn’t his fault—driving in West Palm had been problematic, at best. In this tiny town of less than five hundred people, Gaven doubted driving was a big deal.

As he walked down Queen Street, where the bar was located, he spotted a few ladies congregating in front of Fast Check Grocery. They glanced his way as if gossiping about the newcomer, then quickly averted their gazes.

What is this, Maberry?

He quickened his step, taking in the brick buildings, old-style architecture, and snow-topped mountains that rose all around him, surrounding the town as if to separate it from the rest of the world.

He felt out of place here, but he just had to find something to do. Anything.

Maybe he couldn’t feel much, but he wanted to discover something. Reading, learning, exploring; that’s what he most adored. No matter the town, no matter how small or large, there was always something new to learn. And whatever it was, he’d find it—just like he always did.
