Spittle and blood covered his lips for a moment and he moved to wipe it but something jerked against his wrists. Head turning, he looked at his […]
The rock dug into his palm like dull knives. His forehead was slick with sweat, the desert heat lingering much longer than it should have considering the moon hanging overhead.
