A Touch of Happy

Mark Peter – middle-aged, soft belly, weed wacker haircut – likes the quiet life. Any day spent indoors eating frozen pizzas, painting RPG figures in the basement, and feeding his scruffy cat is a good day. The problem is the outside world. When Mark touches certain things, he draws. Sometimes it’s a little boy lost in the woods, sometimes a throw pillow held tight against a grandmother’s face as she scratches at gloved hands... The FBI likes to call on Mark to help find missing people. Sometimes they’re even found alive. Then a body is found in a neighboring town, and the FBI thinks it is the work of a murderer long thought dead. Mark refuses to help, and more bodies are found. The killer gets in contact with the quiet, middle-aged man with a weed wacker haircut. If that isn’t enough, Mark may have found his soulmate.
