What Beneath the Darkness is

The Texas sun through February blinds, a high school jacket on a park bench. The boys spill out of a pickup, laughter curdling at gunshot echoes. A deputy’s flashlight picks out roots, not flowers, and they all recognize the voice calling Help me. Then the jacket thins in the wind. Hitchcock would shiver at this small-town slasher.
