Judging from the title of the article and the vibrant color pictures of Elodie’s taxidermied possums and raccoons dressed as famous heroines from history and Ross grinning with his friends from the highway department in front of a twelve-point buck, the article seemed like a positive PR piece, something designed to highlight a local business and send new customers its way. And if the front page spread hadn’t dwelled extensively on Ross’s career picking up roadkill and made sure to mention that new waitress Elodie spent her mornings, “up to her elbows in dead animals, and her afternoons slinging hash,” it might have done just that. Instead, the evening after the article published in the Lonesome Point Gazette, Ross’s Place saw a fifty percent drop in business. The next evening saw another twenty percent decline, and by the time Ross locked up on Sunday night, he’d had his worst dinner service yet, serving only three meals the entire evening. And one of those was a take-out meal Mia had picked up for her and Sawyer to share when he got off work at the ghost town.
