DUSTYBEAR - THE BEAR WHO WRITES

A simple desire…to escape. That's all. Just to escape.

ESCAPE...the years of abuse.

ESCAPE...the dry, dusty, Kansas plains.

ESCAPE... a dead-end life, and a dead-end future,
and Tess did.

Right out of high school, and at the age of almost sixteen, Tess did indeed escape.

Escaped FROM: the abuse…

Escaped TO: murder, and a life on the run, from…

WHO?

Tess isn’t sure.
She just knows she has to run…
and run…
and run,

to escape...to...
WHAT?
Her destiny perhaps?

She meets people who try to help...

and they wind up DEAD!

ESCAPE?

Perhaps...

But, did she...REALLY?

As God-awful as the seemingly endless nights of sexual abuse as a child may have seemed, was that really worse than waking up under the dead body of her lover? Then having to run...to escape...again?

Memphis...safe and secure, and peaceful...or was it.

YES! IT WAS!

UNTIL...

Tess came to. Regained conciousness...in a room filled with dead bodies: friends...and others she didn't even know.

RUNNNNNNN TESS....AGAIN!

RUNNNNNNNN FOR YOUR VERY LIFE....AGAIN!

Those nights...when she had to bite her tongue to keep from screaming from the unrelenting abuse...but,

Was that really worse than driving as fast as one dares down seemingly-endless dead of night-darkened roads through the sultry summer Mississippi countryside, to escape…what?

Tess truly didn’t know.

Tess had no idea what the future held out for her,
nor was she even sure what her recent past had really been about.

She knew WHAT had happened, but not why. All she knew is...
she had to escape…AGAIN! AND AGAIN!

until…

Ahhh. That is the burning question, now isn't it.

Well c'mon. You know you wanna know. Come...RIDE with Tess.
Escape with Tess, as she runs…and runs. Feel your heart beat faster...

and faster,

and...FASTER....

DEADLY SPEED....

as you ride those roads of terror with Tess.

Pray for her.

SIT Beside her...

SCREAM...with the wind in your hair...and your heart in your throat, and your hands clutching onto life SO DAMN HARD>>>

They are WHITE...
with fear. YOU...

are white...with fear. Your face, your voice caught in your throat...clenched so tight it won't emit a sound.

Your MOUTH OPEN...but soundless...

You are sooo AFRAID!

You...are so afraid

you don't EVEN REMEMBER YOUR OWN NAME!

But, trust me. You will never forget…
what you and she go through together…
as she escapes….

or does she?

IT WILL...KEEP YOU...ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT...

AND MORE.
