A Sure Thing

About this ebook
A pawn shop, a place for those who find themselves desperate, usually through their own merits. A little shop sitting in a dark city, at the nexus of all things. People come, people go finding the little pawn shop either taking, or leaving things behind.
Just be careful which one you end up with, and please know the difference between need, and want.

Hello, My name is Daniel Hoover, and I am a writer of short fiction, though I plan to write full length novels in the future. In terms of my writing I tend to examine humanity, both its light, and dark aspects. I generally also like to allow the story to follow its own nature, and be unexpected. I appreciate feedback, so if you check out one of my stories, and had any thoughts on it let me know.

To say that the place was located on the seedy side of town would have been the understatement of the year. The street lamps glowed, but their light could only hold the darkness of the night at bay, struggling only to come at long last to a stalemate.
Of course wasn’t that always the way of things, you didn’t come to this area of town during the light of day, almost as if these places didn’t exist until the twilight of dusk.
Alex Stetson laughed off this last thought; it was a sound that even to his ears reeked of nervousness, but what choice did he have? After all he couldn’t be held at fault for the things that had happened, it was supposed to be a sure thing. You’re just like your father…his mother’s voice made rough by years of smoking rang through his mind.
What made them sting though, was that she was right. From the moment they took up residence in
