NEXT BEST HOPE (The Revelation Trilogy) - Plot & Excerpts
So for the first two days of his mountain getaway vacation, he numbed himself with daily cocktails of liquor and pills. He kept the TV on and toggled between sports events and political talk shows, hoping to pick up a few tidbits he could use when he went back on the air. But the third morning, for no reason he could understand, he awoke with a clear head and the urge to explore the countryside. He laced up a pair of hiking boots he found in the closet, put on an old fishing hat a former guest left on the hall tree, and headed out the door along a trail that led into the deep woods. Along the way, he came upon a stream that cut a shallow, rocky ditch through the forest. He left the trail and descended to the edge of the creek where he got down on both knees and reached his hand into the water. The cold water reminded him of the icy ponds where his mother took him as a child. He remembered the first time he tested his balance on a frozen lake of ice, his feet wrapped in four layers of rags that turned him into a human sled.
