Cold Foot: A Short Story

Tammy Mattheis makes a living fighting for those with no voice, but he is beginning to feel the effects of his work after only a short period. "Like supermodeling or high impact sport, the retirement age for undercover animal advocacy is young."

Just as Tammy is beginning to agree with his husband Jamie that it's time to retire, an eighteen year old woman in Alaska makes the headlines when she brutally kills a sixty-something woman for beating and torturing a dog. Tammy decides that he must go on one more mission. But while he is lending support to Shyla, he is forced to examine his own fragile sanity.
