Disappearance At Devil's Rock (2016) - Plot & Excerpts
Kate slouched to her bedroom, and Janice said she was going to clean one of the bathrooms and maybe the kitchen floor, too. With the avalanche of stress, the lack of sleep, continued red-line-level caffeine intake, Elizabeth’s heart races through a two-minute punk song of beats. She thinks about how easy it would be for her to lie down on the couch or curl up on Tommy’s bed and die of a broken heart, and she briefly indulges in a daydream where Tommy returns home to attend her funeral, and everyone there is happy he’s back, and they recognize the Faustian sacrifice Elizabeth made on behalf of her son. The faceless Arnold is at the funeral, too, hiding in the back of the crowd. Elizabeth shakes herself out of the daydream. She is not prepared to think about Arnold and the possibilities associated with him. He’s there now, though, looming like a threat that is a promise. She wants him to go away and to have nothing to do with her son, ever. Elizabeth makes another cup of coffee, spastic heartbeats be damned, and dedicates the rest of her day to phone calls, e-mails, and social media outreach, trying to keep the suddenly weakening flame of media interest in Tommy burning.
