The Business Of Death, Death Works Trilogy - Plot & Excerpts
I hear the car just before I see it. An old Holden, V8 by the deep rumble of its engine, thing’s twice the size of most modern cars. It cuts through the traffic as though there isn’t any. Brakes shriek, a car swerves out of the way and into oncoming vehicles. The collision reverberates down the street followed by even more bangs, glass shatters. People are hurt, someone’s screaming, someone’s dying. I’m running, Lissa a little ahead, looking for somewhere to take cover. About a hundred meters up the road there’s a car park, bordered by a low red-brick fence. I’m never going to make it, and if I shift out of here now, I’m going to leave Lissa defenseless. I glance back. The Holden’s wheels thump out a beat as it bangs up over the gutter. The chassis of the car grinds and sparks against the concrete. The vehicle takes out a bench, knocks it aside, but not without doing more damage. Black smoke roils along the street and with it the stench of burning rubber and oil.
