Patchwork
Book
I stood at my bedroom window and looked down at the front yard beneath me, at the endless line of shuffling visitors winding a trail that wrapped from the road to our door. They met each other coming and going.
They came from all over with their heads hung, skin ravaged by unknown disease, hair long since fallen out. And they left walking just a little bit taller, heads held a little bit higher, and a palm-sized square cut neatly out of the tail of their clothing.
She was their only hope. The sick and dying made their way to her doorstep every evening, and she carefully weaved their pain into her patchwork quilts. Now her special gift could become a weapon of destruction, as decades of disease are used to exact revenge on an unfaithful lover. ( Previously published under pen name of Peyton Grandberry) 25 PAGES

From the frankly horrific descriptions to the well-placed plot twists this was a read I enjoyed immensely. I love a book where karma gets the best of those who need her the most and this book did not disappoint. For me short stories are a little hit and miss sometimes because they usually need a book to go with them, but this book is great all by itself and it doesn't need the support of another story. Well written.
