This is a short story set in Mexico in the days after selling out of the United States to a foreign power. Follow Paul Maddock as he flees the country.
This is a man on the run. He crosses the border in the middle of the night undercover of darkness. Then the sun comes up and there is no place to hide.
Excerpt
He stared at a lizard who stared at him. He looked at his shoes, then his pants, everything was wrong. The lizard told him you don’t blend in, as he moved off a few feet and was lost in the silvery grays of the river rock. Then returned into view as it moved again. A lesson learned, ‘thank you lizard.’ The sun was getting to him.
