Excerpt
Uncle Tom held a world record. Not an achievement he was proud of and had he been able, he would willingly have given what was left of his teeth to have avoided it.
But the warm and buzzing lull of an August evening, the comfort of his favourite chair before a table with a plate piled high with fresh cucumber sandwiches and his wife, Gwen, buzzing between the kitchen and their back lawn behind a large brown teapot caused world records, even the most unwelcome, to fade beneath serenity, contentment and total happiness.
The crisp crunch of the thinly sliced cucumber, the welcome taste of rich yellow butter (the last of their butter ration), and the soft touch of the moist fresh bread combined to whisk him rapidly through the gates of Heaven.
Cyril and Janet their closest friends, relaxing with him, also munched and sipped in what they knew could only be a short pause before it would start again.
As he reached for his second cup of tea, Uncle Tom saw with relief that his hand, for the first time for days, had stopped shaking.
A merchant seaman, a master chef, he had been in his galley when the torpedo hit the hospital ship.
He ignored the increasing slope of the deck, and the groans and creaks as the dying ship began to break, helping wounded troops fight their way through the hatches was his priority. But a pistol, pointing between his eyes could not be ignored, and reluctantly he left his wounded comrades and with the rest of the crew, who could still walk, obeyed the revolver waving officer and stepped slowly the life boat.
The sea beneath the lowering boat was death. The pain would not last long in the Arctic water they had been assured when they joined the convoys to Russia. Thirty seconds, not worth worrying about.
A poignant story about letting go of a narcissist in your life. Have you ever been attacked FULL force by a narcissist? It's the closest thing to being stabbed over and over in the back.
Suspenseful and close to home, Rain of Deception 2 will leave you in Tears. Much like Part 1, this will shocking sequel will keep you on the edge of your fingertips.
