Satan In A Jar

As the morning sun rose, the town of Bramble

remained quiet. In the middle of a small, aging community,

Pastor McKenzie sits in a diner, while others

take turns as guards in the parking lot. Four miles north, a dead man’s eyes watch as

a van pulls away from the scene of his murder,

the driver frustrated that he can’t get a cell

phone signal. He can’t call the police. Meanwhile, a trio of young men cruise

through the dead streets of their home town

• a power-hungry man’s insurance policy

against any survivors. In a matter of minutes, their paths will cross.
