It’s Saturday again, and it’s July, the time when my town has its annual July 4th festival. It’s a small town but quite the tourist trap. We’ve regular tour groups, a historic district, guided tours…it’s a small but vibrant location, especially during the summer months. This evening, unless it rains, we’re going to take our camp chairs downtown and watch a Beatles tribute band called the WannaBeatles followed by fireworks so I’m making this #RainbowSnippet the night before.

This bit comes from Surrogate: Hunted, Chapter Two.
