Dread Reckoning
by L. T. Phoenix
Royce Falco is scheduled for execution in the Hayworth Penitentiary. His usual confidence to slip from such situations is crushed when a mysterious visitor brings news that his demise has been orchestrated, but also brings an offer to alter his fate... the decision will come at a price. Dread sets in as Royce's last midnight approaches in the reputably haunted prison, because at 5 o'clock they take him to the gallows post.
