The Kiss of Life

Whilst at the point of leaping to his death from a motorway bridge, Stephen Cheney meets a mysterious young woman who suddenly vanishes. He is intrigued, and following an unexplained impulse he goes to a sleepy little village ticked away in a forgotten corner of Sussex where he meets her again, yet once again she vanishes, leaving him wondering about his sanity. He feels compelled to find her, and in the process he recovers the memories of a forgotten childhood and realises that the mysterious girl is a part of that forgotten period. All the evidence points to her being the ghost of a childhood friend, and she is calling him to come to her. As he tries by every means he knows to find her, he uncovers a terrible secret, and it becomes a race against time to solve the mystery, even at the risk of his own life. Revised - Aug 2014 Excerpt (from Chapter 22) “I don’t care who is dying, just so long as you join them!” he hissed, and the insane hatred shone from him like a beacon. “You thought you were being so clever, didn’t you? It was a bad day you tried to fool me, Cheney. I’ve discovered what you have done, and you are now going to pay the full price! There’s not going to be a nice cosy cell for your exclusive use for a few years, oh no! I’m your judge, your jury, and I am going to be your executioner! People like you are the dregs of humanity, and like all vermin, need to be exterminated! If you have any prayers, you’d better say them now.” He raised the gun, aiming it squarely between Stephen’s eyes, and he knew that he was staring death in the face.
