  61. About the Publisher

“You hear about the rave at Godwyn University in Pennsylvania. It sounds like another great place to hunt yourself a girl. It’s everything you expected. The place is packed with students, there’s fountains of booze, and drugs, and dozens of girls. It’s Kent who spots Serena, this great girl who’s a gamer, and you agree, she’ll do just fine. But something goes wrong, very wrong. Suddenly she’s dead or dying. You’re smart enough to set a fire to cover getting her out of there. You never think of yourself as a murderer, you don’t for a minute blame yourself, it was an accident. You’re lucky there’s plenty of open land and wilderness nearby. Where to bury her where she won’t be found? Not in a field or a forest owned by someone you don’t know.

“I remember Valley Forge National Park is fairly close to Godwyn, maybe a thirty-minute drive. The park’s closed for the night, and no one’s around, easy enough to drive in. You carry her body far off the road, bury her, go on your merry way. And you know that was smart, too, because her body has never been found, not in seven years. Maybe you’re shook up for a while, but again, it wasn’t your fault, maybe it was even that stupid girl’s fault for wondering what you put in her drink. The years pass, and you enjoy your life, and both of you move up in the world, as you knew you would. Enough time you even take up your sport again.
