There's Something In The Air

HEAT

Chapter 7 - Part 2


The wind was up and blowing from the north - the weather was turning cooler in Matlacha and would stay that way for the next two weeks or so. The wind of course was just movement of air caused by temperature differentials and cooling effects of the ocean and land mass. The air itself was nothing more than oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen, smog, pollen, dust, moisture, and - Lou.

Lou of course was now floating freely in the sir around Matlacha but Lou was slowly gathering himself. It usually took about 3 or 4 days before he could become corporeal after a 'flame-out' - and then only if he found a suitable host.

Even though he was spread across about 50 square miles of Matlacha, Pine Island, cape Coral and Ft. Myers, Lou could still 'think' - in the sense that we can only pretend to understand how that would work.

Lou now realized that by 'body snatching' an 'animal' he could get bey close to his 'soul'. All he needed was enough time to touch 'it' and he would be free. He would trial this again a soon as he 'got himself together'. 

But for now he was entertaining himself by gusting the winds and causing various osprey and pelicans to misjudge their flight paths and crash into trees, telephone poles, etc. Death was Lou's greatest gift - and it was always better to give than to receive .. oh yes ... so much better ...
