"His appointment to defend a man accused of harming a child had changed all that. It had revived everything in his life that was ever painful.

It had set him on a course where he must again confront and deal with the same emotions that had almost destroyed him.

As he watched the water move slowly by his deck, he winced at the thought of going to work. He was scheduled to be at the Public Defender's office that morning to view the Brewton file. Perhaps that explained why he thought the pull of the river was unusually magnetic. The more his sleepy head cleared, the more he realized he wasn't being attracted by the river. He was being repelled by his intense dislike for a man he'd never met.

Clay had tried to picture him many times, but had failed. He tried venting his anger with imaginary punches, thrown as hard as he could. But, he got no relief hitting a man who had no face.

The scene was quickly littered with debris, human remains, and a cloud of smoke. So quick was the explosion and fire that the lake seemed to blink an eye and erase much of the carnage.

Only the seagulls seemed to be ready to pick apart the minuscule pieces of a boat ride gone mad."
