Sunrise
First light had just broken. Birds were chirping, a mild breeze was blowing, and an earthy smell lingered in the air. At the bottom of a hill that looked like an excavated half-moon, there was a house.
The sun was shining across the porch, and the sounds of steps were coming from inside the house. Since the house had no windows, it was impossible to know what or who was creating the noise.
The door opened slowly, and someone started to walk out of the house. As the person moved slowly out of the house, it became evident that this person was wearing a pair of blue jeans, a white T-shirt, a gold watch, and a necklace with a round, golden medallion. He was a black man who seemed to be in his mid-thirties, and the look on his face expressed a little confusion. Perhaps he had drunk a little more than usual the night before and wandered into a stranger’s house.
Anyone outside looking in would wonder where his vehicle was. Since there was no sign of another settlement anywhere nearby, it was odd that even though the look on his face was of confusion, he didn’t look worried.
The man’s clothing and skin had smoke coming off of them, as if he had been in a fire. The man patted himself down to put out the smoke. He looked up at the sunrise, squinting his right eye while putting both hands up to cover his face from the bright sun.
The man took one deep breath and said to himself, “Huh! That was interesting.”

About the Book
While serving, Andrew witnessed many interesting places and things, some of which had to be written down. This particular mystery-thriller takes place in Brommer County, Missouri. Where two lawless riders were responsible for all the mayhem and carnage dealt to the nearby communities; their foul actions were done solely out of spite and greed, but unbeknownst to them, their deeds would eventually catch up with them.
Many years later, four young adults headed to a concert they believed would be the best one yet. On their way to the show, they noticed some things weren’t quite right. The young group initially thought they were lost, but soon found that was not the case at all. Not much later, it was revealed to them the reason behind their misfortune. While signs to turn back were being boldly displayed, their egos were too big to notice.
