“The Reckoning: Rosie’s Letter”

Note from Michele: This is an unpublished excerpt from Secrets of Redemption Book 5, The Reckoning.

Exclusive! Unpublished excerpt from The Reckoning, Book 5 of the award-winning Secrets of Redemption series. Click To Tweet

A scrap of paper found in Rosie’s apartment, the day after she went missing. It was torn out of a notebook, the nubs of paper still attached. No date and no salutation.

I had the dream again.

 I can never remember much. It’s all so hazy, but I know I’m at work at The Lone Man Standing. There’s something in the woods behind the bar. Something I need to check out. Something that isn’t right.

 But that’s it. I don’t remember anything else. I certainly don’t know what’s back there, if anything.

 I get how weird it is to say it’s the same dream when I can’t remember the details, but I know it is. It feels the same.

 Uneasiness. The sense that something is very wrong.

 But also, the feeling of being summoned. That someone (or something) is calling me.

 I don’t know who it is. Or why.

 But, I wonder.

 You and I both know there’s something not right at The Lone Man Standing. It’s clear Red is involved in … something. Best not to talk—or even think—about it.

 That attitude has served me well there over the years I’ve waitressed. Well over a decade now. I’ve minded my own business and kept my nose out of Red’s. Everyone was happy.

 But now …

 Something has changed, and I don’t know what.
