The halls of Bixby High School were always hideously bright on the first day of school.
This was my on-plane read for my recent little weekend jaunt to Spain, and it turned out to be a perfect, fun, little read.

Just when I thought my day couldn’t get any worse I saw the dead guy standing next to my locker.
