Dart Etiquette – Ch. 36
An unmarked police car parked in front of Mr. Craven’s pick up truck. The car rattled and hummed well after Detective Jacovino exited the car and walked up the front steps. Two bone dry bottles of Tullamore Dew laid next to the cooler and Cookie Hill’s dog bowl on the grass to the left of…

Dart Etiquette – Ch. 35
I eagerly boarded my flight with heavy eyelids. In a few hours I’d be in Dublin, on Irish soil for the first time, then shortly after, an hour and fifteen minutes to be precise, I’d be in Thurles. The very place my ancestors started all of their bad habits. I was anxious, but then again…

Dart Etiquette – Ch. 28
We talked for hours last night about what we don’t want to be. How crucial is that aspect to a great friendship? The simple act of talking. Ozzy and I had done that most nights since we weren’t tall enough to ride the rides at the St. Luke’s fair. We spent so many nights talking…
