“Dad, it’s me. Liam.”
Connor’s eyes snapped open and he stared at his son. He smiled faintly. “Hey, Liam.”
“I made this bear coat to keep you warm, dad.”
“Sounds like a good plan, son.”
“Get him the fuck outta here,” said Dr. Cooper.
Connor faded into darkness.

He has a cat, Dexter, who really loves everyone in the family but him.

Endnotes: Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed this novel. As always, I would welcome any comments or feedback. Plus, I would love to know in which direction to take the next novel, if warranted. I could go forward from the surgery or retro to depict the four years that transpired prior to Connor Mac landing in San Fran. I could do either. I'll let you decide. Until then, I'll prep my novel Pizza Bones. I can be reached at: [email protected]
