Lucid

My name is Laec Matthews. An orphan dumped on the steps of a small church and raised by its hell-and-brimstone minister and his wife. Grew up a good kid; polite. Honest. Trustworthy. A little quiet.
Conflicted.
And then I found out why.
Turns out I’m something that’s not supposed to exist. A wolf in sheep’s clothing. Abomination, in my father’s dictionary.
Killer.
Believe it or not, there are those who insist I was brought into this world to deceive the guilty and defend the innocent. Guess what I think of that idea?
Yeah.
I am what I am. As far as I’m concerned, that sucks about as much for me as it does for you. Too bad. Because I’m tired of hiding in the shadows. I want answers, and I’m about to bust out of my cage to get them.
