Colt

Short story.

Laura Heller is a journalist for "Cooking and Home" and desperate for answers. Two years ago her nineteen-year-old brother disappeared around Labor Day, while hanging out at a campfire with some friends. Laura's mother is dying from breast cancer, and the only peace that will let her die happy is knowing what happened to her son.

A woman named Cady tells Laura to search out her brother Colt Badman, for he is a Zilosec with special powers that border on clairvoyancy. Colt is the only one who can tell Laura the truth about the circumstances surrounding her brother's disappearance. When Laura finds Colt, she is mesmerized by his dark, brooding sexuality. He is a special Zilosec who are cousins to the traditional warlock type. Colt has the strongest gifts for "seeing" the past and future. He never wanted nor embraced this curse that his sister insists is a blessing. Colt never expected that when Laura entered his life, she would have him "seeing" the world in a whole new light. She will bring new meaning to the words love, lust and a future. The question is, does Laura feel the same way?
