The Sky Above
Kim Idol, author
Bridget lies bleeding on the ground in the dark, wondering if the friendship she and Andy have forged over a long, dark period will compel him to save her. She is running out of time. When she proposed the heist to Andy and Sarah, this wasn’t part of the plan. As she clings to life in the empty parking lot, all she can do is reflect on how they got into this mess in the first place.
The Sky Above is a story that investigates the nature of second chances for its protagonists––misfits, thugs and middle class rejects stuck at critical turning points. Similar to Jay McInerney’s Bright Lights, Big City or Bret Easton Ellis’ novel Less Than Zero, it focuses on that crucial moment that can change someone’s life forever. What starts as a simple enough scheme quickly turns into deadly betrayal, a hunt to tie up loose ends, and a fight for survival both literally and metaphorically. Along the way, we learn how these three antiheroes came to be and what led them to here and now, as all secrets are finally, painfully revealed.
