Celia, desperate to escape her abusive husband, found the gun. He soon he lay dead. Rolling his body into the swamp, she recalled that Durk had threatened to defeat death: I'll get you, Celia. You kill me and I'll come back as your worst nightmare. I'll get you and I'll get your kids, too. Telling no one about Durk, Celia began to run with help from an underground network. Despite their precautions, disaster soon struck! Coincidence? After a second incident, it became apparent that somehow Durk must be following. When the police found a recent skeleton in the swamp and identified it as Durk, the network leaders were puzzled. If the husband was dead, then who was following? Was Durk somehow keeping his promise, even in death?
