Blind Alley — Ellen Butler

~ A Karina Cardinal Short Story with Extended Excerpts ~ A quick trip to the local market could send Karina Cardinal to county lockup An innocent visit to the local grocery store becomes a fiasco, when Karina accidently bounces a blind man off the bumper of her car. Things take a turn into the strange an unusual, when the produce manager limps out the front door hollering about a banana shipment and attacks her victim while he's laid out flat. A good Samaritan intervenes to help, but Karina fears handcuffs and an orange jumpsuit are in her future. As crowds gather to gawk, and the situation deteriorates, Karina calls her on-again-off-again FBI boyfriend to help her unravel the debacle and hopefully keep her out of the clink.
