The Last Way

By Cameron L. Mitchell

A young boy in a small southern town plans to kill his father. Each chapter of The Last Way presents a different course of action to get the job done. He could push him off a high, rocky ledge; he might orchestrate an "accidental" shooting during a hunting trip; or, maybe he'll slip enough crushed sleeping pills into his father's booze to ensure he never wakes again. The possibilities are endless, and each one must be considered carefully. As the boy's fantasies grow darker and more gruesome, glimpses of his unstable life at home are slowly revealed. His father, a violently unpredictable man, has become such a menacing force that both the boy and his mother live in a near constant state of fear. It's only a matter of time before one of his father's drunken outbursts goes too far, leaving someone seriously hurt. Or worse. With each passing day, the boy becomes more desperate to find a way out. He's done nothing for far too long, but all that's about to change. Murder might be the only way to escape the hell of life in the little red house.
