Tehachapi

by Jerry Gerold

Tehachapi... It was supposed to be a weekend getaway to forget all his problems at home, but drowning his sorrows in alcohol only adds to Derek’s problems. Perhaps he should just end it all with a bullet, but when Derek wakes up in the desert with someone else’s bloody shoes on his feet and his gun missing, his problems have only just begun.

[Jeff · Rating 3 out of 5]

Like a desert mirage, the characters in this story draw more into focus the closer you get. A “film noir” with a narrator thrust into extraordinary circumstances, this story rolls along and keeps the guesses coming until the end.

Not my style. Had too much awful language.
