What The Hidden is
Black plastic telephone coils on a desk. A drunk driver’s headlights slice a motel sign. The city’s crimes are all the same: joyrides, back-alley brawls, lovers’ quarrels ending in knives. A pair of outsiders—one weathered, one green—trace the pattern to a single birthday party’s punch bowl. S.F. slasher on the scent of a wish come true.
