Retail Hell

Big Creek, Washington is a moderately sized town sitting just 30 minutes from the Idaho border. In it's day it was the jewel of the Inland Northwest. 

Terran Wantson used to work at the JJ Belten's, located in the Big Creek mall. He would print photos and stock shelves. Every day ended with his only friend Grail Peters at the local bar and grill. That's where he met Celeste, the dishie.  It wasn't all he'd ever wanted, but he was living. Until he was stabbed to death at the food court and thrown into a war-torn place that was once his home. Written throughout the Spring and Summer of 2020 and the Summer of 2021. 

Content warning: strong language, and violence that is sometimes very graphic.

Written between the Spring of 2020 and the Winter of 2022. It's finally done and I'm proud of how it came out, so this is a big moment for me.
