Max’s Mayhem

The dark shadowy figure which donned camouflage and combat boots, quietly parked the fishing boat. He made certain to tie it off tightly enough to hold; but loosely enough to provide the quick getaway that would be needed. All was quiet in the secure lake house community. Its inhabitants slept with what could be termed as nothing but: ‘a false sense of security.’ The killer knew better than anyone that if someone wanted your demise badly enough, then nothing and no one; could stop an onslaught of danger.
