Description
Addicted to drugs, living on the riverbanks of his hometown, and practically disowned from his family, Lyle finds himself staring down the barrel of a painful death after borrowing money from some gangsters in his town. Seeing no other way out of his mess of a life, he steps in front of a semi-truck, only to be pulled out of the welcoming light by a business woman who offers him a contract that sounds too good to be true. As he had nothing left to lose, he decides to accept this suspicious offer.

- John MickRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Lyle is a tweaker. Just one more hit. It's a refrain in his thinking. It comes around again and again. Just one more hit. Can't say I blame his family for disowning him. Can't say I wouldn't call the cops on them for how. So this lady with the magic card, what kind of debts does she have to cover? Lyle fears he should have read the small print in her contract. He also fears organ-harvesting. Personally, I think it might be something worse. What could be worse? I guess you'll have to read on to find out. Tall Owl knows the cliff hanger. Question is, do you have the guts to find out what's next? Does Lyle?
