A novel* by R. Alex Whitlock
Outside of Seattle, those that have
heard of her know her as Roz London, author of a moderately successful romance
novel. Struck with writer’s block, she is searching for a story. In her
search, she runs across some emails from an old college friend back in Houston
and contacted him. Her initial excitement soured as some of the more unpleasant
memories came back to her until she decided she didn’t wish to confront it
anymore. By chance, she is subpoenaed back to Texas months later and, despite
her best efforts, finds him at a local pub.
His name is Brad Carter and he is too
distracted to notice his old friend. He is a computer programming contractor and
with each passing day, more of his life becomes explained by the errant
functions he battles at work. After months of trying to save his failing
relationship, he’s reached the end of his line. He’s sacrificed everything
to make the unworkable work, there is nothing left if he walks away from her,
but he doesn’t know what can be done.
