#SixSunday “How could his father have worked after everything that happened?” #NOONDAY #Novelines

My Newest novel will be available this spring. So, I've been sharing little snippets of the prologue—six sentences at a time—until it publishes. If you’d like a brief look at the mini synopsis and last week’s six sentences, you can sample them through this link: Land of the Noonday Sun

We left you off last week with Walter lamenting over how he’d already ruined his life.

This week's six: “How could his father have worked after everything that happened?”

Hours later he heard his father creep into his bedroom, no doubt checking that he remained home as instructed.

How could his father have worked after everything that happened? His way of retreating from reality, Walter imagined.

His father had been a physician for years; he didn’t have to take after-hours emergency calls. He could have allowed one of his interns to take the midnight-calls. He owned the practice for God’s sake!
