Excerpt
Taken from Act 1, Chapter 6:
The warm summer breeze glided around Daria's bared shoulders, it encircled her as she plodded along the pavement; head down with her arms folded loosely across her abdomen. The vision of Mrs Johanssen as she swept across the floor of Payday, on a cascading kaleidoscopic sea of candy, repeated once again in her conflicted mind. She was unsure of how she felt; guilt was one of the prominent emotions. The guilt of her involvement in the death of an innocent woman, but more so, the guilt of not feeling guilty enough. She was a Grim-Reaper, death; proverbial scythe at the ready and it scared her that she was more than a little okay with that.
