Journey Through the Broken Path: Chapter One

Chapter two is up, and here is a little snippet:

“What the hell is this garbage?” Bobby asked as he started his car’s engine.

“It’s DEFA. I’m not surprised you don’t like them,” Karl said matter-of-factly.

“DEFA? What does that stand for?”

Smiling, Karl said, “Dead Eyes Feel Alive.”

Bobby rolled his eyes and then turned the volume off. “You know I don’t like that screaming crap.”

“Their ways with instruments are absolutely fantastic though. I sure wish you’d get past the screaming and listen to the instruments. You sure are one-minded when it comes to music. Besides, screaming isn’t all that bad anyway.”

“Either way it doesn’t matter, because you know I don’t like listening to music before games. I have to focus.”

“Whatever.” Karl leaned back in his seat and shut his eyes while Bobby started down the street. “Will you be pitching today?”

“Not sure. I was the starter last Wednesday, so if I do pitch it’ll probably be in relief, maybe closing the game out or something like that. I expect to play third, because that’s where I always play when I’m not pitching.”
