Escape

Holly stood on the bow. Was it the bow? Or the stern? Did ferries have those things, she wondered. She had purposely taken the last trip to Tangier Island to escape Roger, feeling simultaneously anxious and guilty. Their boys slept in the empty cabin, aware of the urgency and the reasons but after a long road trip, they could ask no more questions. Holly touched her black eye and imagined a life without fear or rebuke for her little family.
The dock approached but Holly froze; her father lay motionless on the ground. Beside him, Roger waited, gun in hand.
Oh, shit. What happens next?
I thought maybe he wouldn’t kill them because that would mean losing control over them but considering he murdered her Dad, he probably will. But I doubt he’ll have the guts to kill himself. Or maybe he will…. 😉
Interesting. I’ll have to stay tuned.
Uh oh. Trouble ahead! Great job.
Quite a shock. It’s not going to end well for anyone.
Well dammit… that didn’t work. Now what?
Turn about! Right now!
