It’s only been six months and John can’t believe how far removed he is from things he’d thought were forever- family dinners, an honest job that paid the bills, a limitless future with a wife that he loved.
He packed what remained of his world into the Impala and left Lawrence. He’d found Missouri, then Jim Murphy, and through them a new life, a new purpose. It’s not going to catch him unaware again- this unnamed evil won’t ever harm his children. He knows what’s out there now. And when he’s learned enough? What’s out there will know him too.
