Indy Book Fairy: Aberancy By Su Halfwerk

Title: Aberrancy

Author: Su Halfwerk

Genre: Horror

Robert Williamson, esteemed judge, adoring husband, and doting father, has his flawless life snatched away, leaving him damaged beyond repair—damaged by a witch whose taunting presence spells his destruction.

Before exacting his revenge, Robert is hell-bent on digging out explanations.

His demands are wild, his interrogation method peculiar, and what he seeks most might well cost him what remains of his sanity—and he knows it.

Despite horrible odds, Robert refuses to give in.

Aberrancy is a gripping dark tale of lives lost...to a different kind of evil.

The traffic stretched in a long line before them. Red lights flashed on and off as some vehicles inched forward. Robert winced at the long wait ahead of them thanks to Deputy Sloan, the worst when it came to situations involving a display of power and control. He would delay the whole thing, basking in the opportunity to flex his authoritative muscles.

“What’s the truck’s load?”

Mathew shrugged. “Don’t know. I was on my way to find out more.”

Sandra pulled on Robert’s hand, he glanced down. “Balcony seat, Papa?”

He chuckled and went down on one knee. Using one of his thighs for support, she settled on his shoulders and faced the front line. “You see anything, kiddo?”

Despite not being able to see her face, he heard a rare smile in her voice. “Yes, a small fire. Sooo yellow.” She sounded wistful.

“Are there any fire trucks?” Mathew asked.

Robert looked up toward Sandra who had a higher vantage point than them.

She glanced down, her blue gaze drilled into his friend’s. One word. “No.” She then went back to watching.

They strolled unhurriedly. If a big boom was expected, a fire engine would have been there already.

“I heard you left early today. How come?”

Robert opened his mouth to answer, but was interrupted by a loud explosion that shook the ground under his feet. He grasped one of Mathew’s arms to maintain his balance and not topple Sandra off. Screams and yells of panic drifted to him. Above his head, Sandra lifted a hand to the sky and said, “Wheeeeee.”

He glanced up as a yellow tube shot through the sky, arched, and rocketed down toward them. Sandra’s hand followed its progress.

As the tube drew nearer, Robert corrected himself. It was a yellow, medium size, thin cylinder. He wondered for a brief moment about its contents.

It arched toward the cars behind them.

Toward Cathy!
