The Boardwalk; Wednesday Afternoon
It was unusually hot today.
Fall, he knew, was on its way but summer was hanging on as tightly as it could. Jasper knew that it'd be hot and sticky in Lobo's Nod, humidity dripping from the buildings and trees. He could picture G. William sweating through his uniform while he ordered his deputies around.
Jasper closed his eyes. When he did, he saw the knife, saw the hand holding the knife, recognized he fingers as his own, the grip tight and sure. He opened his eyes quickly and took several breaths, calming himself down.
The water seemed to be calling his name and Jasper did have to admit that the smell of salt and the cool breeze did seem like it'd be refreshing. He didn't have much else going on today besides checking in with Melissa and maybe a phone call with Howie.
Jasper climbed up on the railing separating beach from boardwalk and sat it on gingerly. A few more moments and he planned on jumping down and going for a swim.
