Description:
~A lot can change in the space between devising a plan and
carrying it out. That space is called the INTERIM.~
High school seniors Jeremy Stahl and Regan Walters aren’t
friends. Not even close. He’s a picked-on, picked-apart loser outcast. She’s a
cool kid running with the popular crowd. It’s unlikely they’d ever speak to one
another. Too bad he’s madly in love with her. But what does it matter, anyway?
He’s got no time for love. Only revenge.
Meticulously detailed in the pages of his battered red
notebook is his master plan: April 14, 9:30 A.M., two guns, eighty rounds of
ammo, backup knives, eleven victims. He’s finally ready to answer every single
taunt, jeer, and flying fist—unwarranted abuse that’s spanned six years of his
lonely life. He’s justified. He’s ready. But he never readied himself for her.
Regan finds his journal. She reads it, and when he discovers
her intrusion, he has to switch tactics. She’s a liability now.
Better fix that.
Teaser:
Who was he? What was his purpose? He knew it
once. Once, a long time ago, he decided to be a hero. He decided to avenge
himself and all the other kids who were helpless against abuse. Once, a long
time ago, he learned the difference between justice and mercy. He learned when
justice was required. He learned when mercy was allowed. Once, a long time ago,
he faced himself in the mirror and saw a stranger—a better boy than he could
ever be. A boy with a mission. A boy with convictions. And he reached out to
take hold of that boy, through the looking-glass, falling into a wonderland
where righteousness ruled supreme and evil was destroyed with the pop pop! of a gun. The world made sense
to him. Then.
