This story is dedicated to my brother Will, a great brother and fantastic artist who draws pictures that inspire my fiction. Anthony Neil Smith of plotswithguns.com, in which “Barracuda” appeared, deserves big credit for all the fine stories he piloted to success. It’s a real honor to have my story published here. Thanks to D.W., M., A.J.C., S.H., and the team at WSBW.
