Habanero Swigs and Hurricane Force Winds

In this full house, you can't trust anybody.

This story starts with an omen.

Avery Baldwin and Cubby Zabrowski, Chance's eleven-year-old son, are on the beach, enjoying a lovely, leisurely afternoon, when out of nowhere, a shrimp boat glides onto the shore. The unusual circumstance is shocking, but Loti Baldwin sees the arrival of the ship as an ominous sign. A hurricane is coming for them. Hurriedly, the people of Buenaventura Beach evacuate and seek shelter at a rental property in Orlando owned by Savanna Hautett.

With twenty people staying in one house together for three days, just about anything can happen. Old grudges fester, tempers flare, and before long, there's a murder.

Will Avery and Chance Zabrowski figure out who committed the crime in time to stop another one from occurring? Or is the hurricane howling outside the least of their worries?

This story features three alternate endings. The reader may choose their own conclusion or peruse them all.
