An enforcer pushes the boss's son everywhere in a wheelchair. But the son wants the dad dead. And the man's down with that sentiment.
Phil is an enforcer for the main man. Put-upon, bullied, and blamed for the son's disability, the dad forces Phil to push the teenager around as punishment for his sins. Phil feeds the boy, entertains him, chaperones him everywhere he wants to go. It's a chore, but it could have been far worse. But the wish for a quiet life bursts when the son wants his dad dead.
Phil can see that the boy, in his young adulthood, resents every second. The teenager can push himself around. Can do anything, in fact, by himself. But Phil must do his boss' bidding. He endures the boy's insults and suicide attempts, and tries to keep his head down. Burns with shame at his menial duty, but empathises for the son at his dad's embarrassment of him. So when the boy ramps up the pressure and threatens his lover, Phil must decide on his priorities.
Somebody has to die. Can Phil avoid the bullet to the back of his head in the explosive finale?
Pusher is one of 22 gut-busting crime, pulp, and noir fiction stories, some coal-hearted, some wry, all of them with enough fuel to rocket you through the night. If you love off-beat stories with a dark heart, you will love Bullets, Teeth, & Fists 2.
