About this ebook
Nick is trapped halfway out the driver's side window, soon after the accident. A pool of blood shimmers beneath him, and in the reflection he sees Buck, the God Of Everything That Will Kill You, smiling back. He never knew deities like Buck existed. Nick sees him as his salvation, and his demise.
Nick has to make a choice. Either he follows Buck to the ends of the earth, or he makes a stand for himself. It's a hard decision. After all, murder on the rez is a hard thing to escape.

The Soothing Sounds Of May - Jason Lefthand
Several Band-Aids on the back of Nick's hand hung on by one end, like fleshy tassels, as he dipped an overused spoon into a bowl of tepid chicken noodle soup. The cuts on his hands looked angry red. They had barely enough time to heal. Nick hunched over his dinner, at a long counter. All the tables behind him were filled parents and kids who chattered incessantly. Nick did not mind the noise, or how his Band-Aids dipped into the broth, over and over. He also did not mind the hard round seat, the bitter coffee, or the fact his shoulder ached every time he moved. There were large chunks of chicken in his soup. Some even had traces of red veins.

But, Nick did not like the way Buck picked his teeth with toothpick after toothpick, long after he had finished his meal. Buck sat close to Nick on purpose. Nick winced every time the soft wood squealed against Buck's teeth.
Stop that,
Nick said. He kept his face close to the bowl.
Buck looked at Nick from the corner of his eye and grinned. He wedged the tip of the toothpick between his incisors. Stop what, buddy?
