Yet this college loner gets the break he never expected when a tiny meteor hits him on the head during an evening jog. Waking up, shocked to be alive, he only finds a slimy remnant of anything hitting him, a tingling as he walks back to campus. When a hot girl stops to offer him a ride, it&#8217;s clear that something has changed. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Booby Trapped Betrayal<\/strong> After a previous party mistake led to Amy accidentally drinking alcohol and denting her expensive car, the teenager is grounded while all her friends attend the senior Christmas party. Bored and alone in her father&#8217;s lavish home, Amy gets a call that quite possibly is from someone she knows, their voice electronically distorted. She&#8217;s told that she has been Booby Trapped and the trap unfolds.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/1379883\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Now On Smashwords!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0C2N76J8X\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring is around the corner and the weather is getting wild out there, but not as wild as the two tales in our latest Grab Bag!
