Officer Down · A Digital Short Story

Patrolman Dave Powell’s life is unremarkable, one of mediocrity and unfulfilled dreams. A fifteen year police veteran, he has little to show for it but a crappy, ranch-style house, an expansive gut and cholesterol levels through the roof.

Yet, the one good thing in his life has always been his wife, Karin.

Until, Dave Powell begins to suspect his wife of cheating. Then worry becomes paranoia, and paranoia becomes desperation and fear, all of which conspire to create a perfect storm with deadly consequences.
