Alfonz Grimwalch is called the Grinch. The past haunts him. Ghosts haunt him, and his commanding officer grinds life into grey misery. Just when nothing matters, she assigns him bodyguard duty to the worst nightmare possible. Mary is terrified, heartbroken, alone. People are trying to kill her. The only wall willing to stand between the nightmares of her past and the murderers of her present is a monster himself. Staggering in exhaustion, she leans against the only one who cares. A team forged in pain. Christmas Eve will find them running, death on every side, betrayed by the symbols of the season. Their only hopes are the ghosts that haunt Grim's present and guilt that haunts his past. The stained glass of an ancient cathedral provides light for the desperate. Running, Grim's determined to make it this time. If he can survive long enough to get Mary into the church maybe the stars above will offer hope for them all. Until his commanding officer decides the Grinch must die. The Ghosts of Mary's Grinch is one of several short stories leading to Ms. Walker's newest series, Red is the Dawn, due out in Spring, 2015.
