Stephenson, is forever scarred by his complicity in the brutal assault and death of Madge Oberholtzer. Now, in the aftermath, William is the key witness both sides of the trial are desperate to find. He flees, seeking anonymity in a small town, taking refuge in the flickering shadows of a movie theater's projection booth, trying to escape the memories that torment him. Can he hide from his dark past in the flickering light of a small-town theater or will his personal demons find him in the shadows?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e*If you're looking for more stories on this theme, check out \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eEscape: A Disturb Ink Books Anthology\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e---------------------------\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e30 pp. | Short Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e---------------------------\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHEADS UP!
