Story
The story
Have you ever met a wife like this?
In the 160-degree desert, I worked myself to the brink of death for our entire team. When I collapsed, she took my only bottle of life-saving water and hand-fed it to her childhood friend.
Then, she tossed a bottle of his urine into my lap and said, coolly, "He's fragile. You drink this to tide you over."
She called me dramatic. Said I wasn't as "kind" as him. But when they worked together to stab me and bury me alive under the scorching sand, I finally understood—this wasn't just cruel favoritism.
It was a cold, calculated murder plot.
Opening excerpt
The air in the Mojave wasn’t just hot; it was a physical weight. The digital readout on the dash of our heavily modified Ford Bronco climbed past 150, then 155, finally settling at a shimmering, hellish 160 degrees. Out there, the landscape was a blast furnace, and I’d been in it for the better part of an hour, mapping a potential lithium deposit.
Now, back in the truck, the world was starting to tilt. Black spots swam in my vision. Dehydration. The bad kind.
These are the opening lines of chapter 1. Keep reading →
