Excerpt:
Secrets sucked—literally.
They reached inside a body, found whatever soul a person possessed, and sucked it out like a fucking Hoover on turbo until nothing remained but a walking, talking husk of a human.
Still, that was preferable to having someone rip your actual guts out, which would have happened had Tate not held on to his secret tighter than a virgin asshole.
His secret began long before he understood he’d need to keep it for his whole goddamn shitty life. It began early in his childhood when he’d been a sponge absorbing the toxicity his parents poured on him. Parents was a loose term. Sperm and egg donors turned roommates painted a more accurate picture.
By thirteen, he’d long been caring for himself and his needs. Hell, he’d been more responsible than his damn brother, who was older by three years. Randy came out of the womb a damn fuck-up, feet first, and not even smart enough to take a breath until the doctor whacked him on his ass.
Food? Tate had shopped for it, begged it from friends, and even stole it if he got hungry enough.
Clothes? Goodwill for the win.
Shelter? Their shitty trailer was about the only thing his old man had ever paid for. To this day, they have never paid a lot fee. His mother had been banging the trailer park’s manager for as long as he could remember.
Slutty mom for the win.
That left love and affection, but he didn’t think someone in their trailer park had experience with either. Even Letti and Jack, the newlyweds in the trailer diagonal from his, hated each other’s fucking guts. Oh, they’d devour each other’s faces for all the world to see and profess their undying love at the top of their lungs, but their fights could wake the dead, and Letti slashed the tires on Jack’s bike last week. New ones were expensive as hell, and Jack worked at a damn junkyard. She wouldn’t have pulled that shit if she loved him for real. He had a sneaking suspicion Letti was banging Daryl on the side too.
They lived in a fucked-up town with fucked-up people.
Last week, he heard Old Man Richards, who lived in the first lot in their park, say nothing could shock him after living in Swan for over fifty years.
I could shock him. I could shock the shit outta him.
God, I’m in a mood.
