Excerpt from Jeremiah
“I’m gonna go see who was walkin’ in Mr. Mayes’ office,” I say to him as I wipe my hands on the rag and toss it on the work table. Standing outside his office door, I see the same blonde sitting behind his dusty desk with a look of disgust on her face. Quickly, I knock on the door. She pauses and looks up. Without waiting for a reply, I turn the knob and walk in.
“Ma’am, is there something I can help ya with?” I question, trying my best to be polite.
She looks at me, rolls her eyes, and basically tells me to go on without opening her mouth, and all that has me wanting to do is turn her over my knee and spank her nice little backside.
“Excuse me?” she says with an abundance of attitude.
“I said can I help you? Mr. Mayes isn’t here, so maybe I can help you with what you need.”
She begins to laugh and it pisses me off.
“Really, Sherlock! He’s in the hospital and I’m here to take care of things until he’s able to return.” What did she say? I’ve been here since I was sixteen years old and he’s been priming me to take over the day he calls it quits. He’s left me in charge and no little girl comes in here acting all high and mighty wanting to take over.
“Ma’am,” I say cautiously once more, knowing I really want to cuss her out. “I’m in charge while he’s out. What can I help you with?”
“I don’t think so Jeremiah.”

Excerpt from Beckett
Walking into the old wooden farm house, I toss my hat on the counter as I grab a beer and cuss the day. I’m tired and my brothers aren’t home yet to help out as usual. I’m not sure why I even try anymore, but then I glance at the picture on the refrigerator and know why I still care. I see the most beautiful woman in the world. The woman that came to our rescue when I was seven years old. I still remember the day like it was yesterday when I walked into her classroom for the first time. Carol Drake was like an angel in human form, and saved me and my three brothers from a life of hell. I’d hate to see where we’d be today. We’d probably all be dead or in jail. Looking at the picture of my mom I smile, but miss her so much my heart hurts.
As the back door opens, Colby walks in with a smirk on his face. Taking a pull of my beer, I don’t say anything. Instead, I stand and start to walk toward the door for the barn.
“Let me get out of this get up and I’ll come help you.”
“Don’t bother,” I say and when he mumbles under his breath, I snap.
“Don’t do me any favors. Go on and keep up that pretty boy act, but we all know you’re just like the rest of us.”
“Dude, who pissed in your corn flakes?” he says and I don’t say a word. Instead, I walk out to the barn, feed the animals, and make sure that everything is taken care of before getting ready for my third shift rotation at the fire station.
