Death Spin

Death Spin
by Jack Barrett

It was hard to believe, but in one day Roger had suffered the loss of his job, stabbed in the back by his co-worker and blamed for his mother’s death by his crippled alcoholic father. He didn’t think things could get any worse, but as he climbed the stairs of the Sierra Fitness Center to attend his tri-weekly spinning class, he would find the day could get worse…much worse. Humiliation would overwhelm him as his fellow spinner’s snide remarks stabbed like daggers into his fragile psyche. Roger snapped, sending him hurtling into a murderous rampage.

Carol Murphy, a good-natured registered nurse at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Reno, Nevada was among the members of Roger’s spinning class. She had no idea his meltdown would result in her having to fight for her life, but also for the lives of her fellow spinners. In the course of an hour, she and the others would be forced to push their body and minds to the limits of exhaustion. It would be a death spin class and Carol may be the best chance for the class to survive. The odds weren’t very good…she was sixty-five years old and injured.
