After their exuberant ride on the Ferris wheel, Vicente and Temperance walked back to the parking lot to retrieve Vicente's car. The two of them held hands while they walked, Vicente was either humming or whistling a cheerful tune and Temperance was giggling at him.

On the back-roads of upstate New York, there are a lot more things going on in some of those sleepy rural areas than meets the eye, or at least that was the way in was back in the 60's. Take the Brennan farm in Trenton Falls, for example. ... This was going to be the third time that I had driven up Neversink Road this afternoon. The first time that I had g...
"I'm just concerned," Brennan was saying, glancing at the caravan behind them. "He might die, or explode, or something." Lily smiled mischievously. "But look at his face! It gets all red and purple, with that one big vein. That's not even a little funny to you?" They were most of the way to Highwater, having left Rellam's Crossing three days prior. Brennan...
Brennan Mulwray was out there on the prowl. He was a tall young man with black hair and pale brown eyes. A very handsome man. He looked regal in his black silk shirt, black jeans and boots. He looked like an ordinary man but he was not. He was a mutant. One of those genetically altered human beings with special abilities. In the case of Brennan, the mutant a...
