Novel excerpts: Escape

The agent's grip on Peter grew so intense that he was on the verge of passing out from the pain. All he could think was the loss of consciousness before escaping and trying to save all of the bones in his hand from being broken.

"I'm not dying yet!" he hollered: flashbacks of the first beating swirling in his mind. Somehow, he was free of the grip, his hand purple and blue. The grip had cut the flow of blood leaving his hand ice-cold.

He tried to flee, but the intense gravity of the wormhole dragged him towards the opening. The agent grabbed at his wrist, straining his tendons to the breaking point. With tears of agony streaming from his eyes, both men crossed the threshold into the landfill site together.

He was using his ownership of that station and at least fifty more TV and radio stations to launder huge profits from illicit drug sales. The station owner looked at his crew, a profound smirk on his face.

"Slow down!" the first camera operator gasped to the reporter. "That guy over there is armed with some kind of rifle...and is pointing it at another man. Christ, he is one of our producers! It is he!
