David Bain Must Die

David Bain is a writer who has lost his motivation. And if that’s not bad enough, his friend is writing a story in which David dies. Or diets? He’s not really clear on the outcome. Either way, he leaves their weekly writers’ lunch feeling no better than when he arrived.

But his day really takes a turn for the WTF when black-ops men spill forth from an unmarked van in front of him in traffic, a bag is thrown over David’s head, and he’s moved to an unknown location where he meets a man who claims to be the real life version of one of his fictional characters.

As if David’s motivation wasn’t lacking enough, he’s warned to stop writing about the guy. Or else!

David Bain Must Die(t)! is meant as a tribute to a friend and writer whose imagination and command of the language inspires me every time I read his work. Thanks for being there.
