Stray Ally by Troy Lambert

The shovel in his hands, the white sheet folded up onto the top of his head. The gallows.

The grave behind him. The Lieutenant’s arm around his shoulder.

The camp sign in the next picture. Todd Clarke in the background, watching. He picked up the phone, then thought better of it. Pay phones had become nearly impossible to find. Time to go buy a prepaid cell and make some calls.

This would be the last time, no matter what. Of course, that’s what he’d said the last time.
