She shot out of the car and ran toward the restaurant. Halfway to the building, she heard a sound.
Distant, but there.
“Oh my God,” she said. “I don’t believe it.”
She sprinted toward A1A, waving her arms and screaming even before she saw the motorcycle come over the Matanzas Inlet bridge.
“Please,” she yelled. “Please, help me.”
She ran up the incline to the road as the motorcycle pulled to a stop fifty feet away. A large man with a long pony tail stepped off the motorcycle and drew a pistol from his belt.
“Please, help me. Please, help me,” Angel yelled as she reached him.
The biker dragged her by the hand to the concrete wall at the edge of the bridge and they ducked down. He scanned the parking lot for whatever was chasing her.
With no signs of pursuit, the man turned to her and held her by the shoulders, looking into her eyes.
“Okay,” he said as calmly as possible. “It’s okay. You’re safe now. Take it easy.”
Angel collected herself and looked at him in disbelief. Was he real? Was she finally safe? The man was amazingly calm and projected a strength that she could feel even at arm’s distance away. He looked into her eyes.
“My name is Ike,” he said. “What’s your name?”
Some dark serendipity plopped a young Patrick C. Greene in front of a series of ever stranger films-and experiences-in his formative years, leading to a unique viewpoint. His odd interests have led to pursuits in film acting, paranormal investigation, martial arts, quantum physics, bizarre folklore and eastern philosophy. These elements flavor his screenplays and fiction works, often leading to strange and unexpected detours designed to keep viewers and readers on their toes. In addition to his novel PROGENY, and the short story collection DARK DESTINIES, Greene has several FILM projects in the works, and just finished writing his second novel – THE CRIMSON CALLING -the first in the action-adventure vampire trilogy, The Sanguinarian Council.
