About this ebook
How long can one day last?
Mark Crenshaw longs for nothing more than a few groceries and to get in out of the heat on the longest day of the year.
At the local megamart, he finds far more than canned goods.
At home, he finds far more than the peace and quiet he longs for.
When judgement day comes, will Mark get the spotlight? Or the eraser?

Spiral Publishing, Ltd.CHAPTER 1
This was what hell must feel like.
Mark Crenshaw was pretty sure, anyhow.
He sat in his still-running Camry, blessing the AC as he stared across fifty yards of shimmering black pavement toward Food World, the local food megamart, wondering if having food to eat could possibly be worth it.
They had handicapped parking spots closer to the entrance. Why couldn’t they have sunburn-prone parking spots?
The noon sun blazed down from a cloudless sky, cooking the burg of Decatur, Georgia, like a Thanksgiving turkey. The bank sign across the way informed all and sundry that the temp was at a breezy ninety-seven.
