Fortune Favors The Wicked (2016) - Plot & Excerpts
She won’t get up!” Charlotte jerked awake to the sound of her child’s cry for the first time in more than ten years. The sharp odor of animal urine wrinkled her nose. Blinking bleary eyes, she lifted her head from the pillow. “Maggie? Are you all—” “It’s Captain! Aunt Charlotte, she did a puddle and now she won’t get up.” Maggie’s voice teetered between fear and despair. Feet tangled in the bedcovers, Charlotte took a moment to extricate herself before stumbling to the tableau before the hearth. On her favorite rug, Captain lay soiled and prone. The labored rise and fall of her side, the blink of her puzzled dark eyes at Maggie, proclaimed her mute distress. “She’s never done this before.” Maggie petted the brindled head. “She’s such a good dog. She knows to go outside.” “She did it plenty of times when she was a puppy.” Rise, fall, rise, fall. Each breath the dog took was a reprieve. “Let me fetch a cloth, all right? We’ll clean her up.” “All right.”
