Sample text:

The day began quietly enough, one of those hotter than hell days when horny toads looked for any shade possible. Noon in June along the Mexican border can be dangerous, just from the heat. Throw in the drug runners and the Coyotes, it becomes deadly.

Most people who lived in the area were aware of the simple fact: a person should not travel between the southernmost U.S. towns and the northernmost Mexican cities. The government of Mexico did what it could to protect travelers, but the highways were full of ‘toll’ stops with banditos doing what they must to make a living.

On one of those roads running through the Sierra Madre Mountains, approximately a hundred miles south of Marysfield, the Olson family was about to become the victim of one of those toll stops.

They drove south on Mexico Federal Highway 16, through the Cañón y Sierra del Pegüis. The Olson family from Minnesota was headed south to Mazatlán on their summer vacation, piloting a thirty-six-foot motorhome through the winding canyon roads.

“Honey, can you turn the AC colder? I am sweltering over here,” Missus Olson said.

“It’s on low now. It should cool down the higher we go, are the kids still sleeping in the back?” replied Mister Olson.

Turning around to check, and catching sight of two pairs of feet dangling off sofas in the middle of the rig, she said, “Looks like it.”

Julian and Julia, the Olson’s adopted twins, weren’t asleep. Both played possum with headphones on, listening to Christian music.

As they came around a blind corner, they met upon a semi-official looking roadblock. Camouflage four-bys with twelve men, armed with automatic weapons, blocked the road.

Having no choice but to stop, Mister Olson tried to look reassuringly at his wife as he slowed.
