Strait to Neutral Falls

"Author A.P. Murdock is a newcomer to the Literary Guild. However, is no stranger when fiction meets resiliency."

E.J., a precocious nine year old tries to prevent his mother, Dionne, from marrying her young paramour, Mr. Red, while on vacation in the idyllic town of Neutral Falls. At first, a heady dosage of wonder fills the air. But, things quickly go south as E.J.'s fears begin to mount after witnessing Mr. Red's devilish apparition in the hotel's pool reflection.

Mr. Red amps up his devilish attacks towards E.J. during a visit to Clifton Hill's attractions. And when Mr. Red's proposes marriage, E.J.'s feelings of alienation intensify. That's until he discovers Dionne's missing 'colorful piece' in Mr. Red's possessions. To the chagrin of Dionne, E.J. exposes it at the eleventh hour, as she prepares to say 'I do.' This prompts a violent struggle between E.J. and Mr. Red that sends the ring flying. It's anyone's guess what happens next, or if E.J. will return home a little wiser and happier.
