A corrupt football team fights to become the sport’s dominant
franchiseThe Texas Pistols never should have been. The league had no
business awarding a team to dying Park City, but it only took a little
pressure—financial and otherwise—to bring the expansion franchise to
town. At first, they’re worthless, playing in an empty stadium for
slack-jawed fans, but the owners have a plan. Five years to financial
security. Five years to complete domination of the sport. Five years to
the Super Bowl. And it starts with Taylor Rusk. But Rusk, the finest
college quarterback of his generation, is no fool, and he realizes
quickly that all is not honest in Park City. He doesn’t want to stop the
corruption; he wants a piece of it, and for a price he will lead his
new team to glory. In Texas, football is life. But in Park City, it can
mean death, too. Views: 49

Blood claimed Ben's white t-shirt. Heavily and slowly, deep red spread throughout every fiber of it. Bewildered and stuck in my position, I cried out to him in my mind, my heart. I tried to breathe. Struggled to find his name with my tongue...finally I inhaled and reached for him, "Ben!" He stumbled back and tipped over the edge of the boat, into the danger of the deep blue sea. A single tear dribbled down my cheek. The black of night woefully whispered the sorrows of his death. And I, I did something I would have never done. I stood determined to save him and ripped the orange vest from my chest. I ran, ignoring my mother screeching my name, "Eva, no!"--I dove in after Ben. I jumped into the deep blue...I would never return. Views: 49
