    We hold these truths to be self-evident.  The pen is truly mightier than the sword. Water is wet. Everybody lies.  And all babies are not cute. I craft mysteries. I crush pulp. This is Gothic Urban Noir I write for my sanity. I smoke I drink. I clamp. I think therefore I am most certainly not... #ECV & #BAXWAR affiliated.

      The Kissing Corpse - L.C. Kirk

      BY L.C. KIRK

      ACT I

      Sunset in Xi’an

      PROLOGUE

      +

      Lisa Theresa woke up in a good mood. Her Fiance Remy Dove was sleeping harder than usual. She admired his muscular athletic body. His smooth brown skin and tattoos.  They were to be wed in 9 days in her family’s homeland of China.

      Lisa picked her phone up from the nightstand. It’d been on silent all night. One message from M.

      - We have a new concern. This needs to be dealt with immediately. Meet me in CT  ASAP.

      -M

      Lisa got out of bed . Throwing Remy’s White button up shirt around her shoulders. She found some yoga pants on a chair by the nightstand. She threw her dark hair in a bun and slipped on some Ugg boots.

      They had a final meeting today with the wedding planner. Before flying out to Xi’an, China tomorrow. I’ll go now before Remy wakes up. Then grab us some breakfast on the way back she thought.

      She looked for her car keys around the disheveled bedroom. Lisa was many things but a clean freak she was not. She gave up on finding her car keys. She’d take Remy’s car.

      She found his keys on her living room coffee table. She threw on a black zip-up hoodie. It had a picture of Marilyn Monroe splashed on it in black and white with the lipstick being the only live color. A bright red.

      Remy’s black 2009 Crown Victoria was parked outside. Taking up two spaces. The morning air was chilly. But the sun was bright in the sky. Lisa got to the door. She thought it was odd that the door was unlocked.

      She thought of how happy Remy would be when she returned with his favorite morning roast and bagels. He’s a lucky guy to have me she said out loud to no one. 

      Lisa slid into the driver seat. Put on her seat belt and cranked up the car. You could hear the explosion for miles. The boom rocked Lisa's brownstone. It awakened Remy Dove with its thunderous roar.

      Remy's first thought was Lisa. He jumped out bed and ran to the window. Through the thick black smoke, he could see the burning frame of his car.

      He instantly knew what happened. Someone bombed his car. And they killed the wrong person. They killed his woman. Whoever did this was gonna pay he thought.

      The wind changed and smoke billowed in through the open window. Remy passed out where he stood. Half from shock, half from smoke inhalation.

      CHAPTER 1

      She was dead. I flew all the way to China for a dead girl. She was my Fiance. And I killed her. Now I had to deal with the contempt
