Pauly needs cash - NOW - for a fix. When he encounters Belia Demkakova, he negotiates to do yardwork for her. But the old woman has something that can erase his withdrawal symptoms. At a price. What will Pauly give to be free of his addiction? More than he bargained for!Writing about The Elixir, author Lee Allen Howard said: The story is about desperation and what people will do to free themselves from addiction. I'd had the idea of an old woman asking a young man to do her a favor. As part of an online writing class, I developed the idea into the story...I wanted [it] to have somewhat of a gritty, noir feel to it. My challenge was to keep readers interested and include a nice twist at the end. I hope I've been successful.(Cover by Adrian Baldwin)
