The Rhythm of the Stone – Collateral Damage
by James Halister Bird III
A horrific crash on a Colorado highway a few weeks after the 9/11 attacks. Eerie similarities and interesting characters in this high action thrillers. Through it all, the protagonist finds love. Funny how things work out. A novelette at 28K+ words. Great weekend read!They found him in a field half out of his mind after the whole thing went down. He still has headaches. His best friend Anthony was there too and he feels responsible. It was his idea. He tried to keep Michael from running into the field after it happened but he couldn’t. He still has a cast on his left leg. Anthony does not like the stories in the newspapers either. The articles informed us he was a gang banger. He is not. The last time I spoke with Anthony he had plans for leaving Colorado once he heals. I want to tell their story and mine, I was there. Let me tell you how I met Michael and Anthony and why I worked hard to defend them. I’m not a lawyer or anything but I did have time for a side project. I’m also going to tell you how I fell in love. It happened on the same day I ran into Michael and Anthony. Funny how things work out.
