Book Cover & Preview Text
I knew something was wrong, as if some unseen spirit was whispering into my ear, “Don’t answer it.” I knew it startled Kelly, too, because neither one of us got up to answer the door. “Who is it?” I hollered across the kitchen, without leaving my seat.
Kelly was the one who got up. I slipped into the living room to grab my pants, listening as she answered the door. I could see the porch light go on from where I was, and out of the corner of my eye the two policemen nervously making their way in toward Kelly, who’s hand now covered her mouth, straining not to gasp.
“What is it Kelly?” I yelled from around the corner, trying to get my pants the rest of the way on.
All I could make out from their hushed conversation from the porch was the word ‘dead.’ I heard it twice.
“What?” I gasped. “Who’s dead?” I finally yelled.
I am going to tell you a remarkable true story. Without exaggeration it happened exactly the way I’m about to tell you. But to help you understand we’ll have to go back to the beginning.
