Chapter 72

Using the full force of his weight, Nick’s boots connected with the boy’s upper chest and windpipe. Caught off guard, Jah’lar spun around and was sent plunging backward. The body he inhabited flopped on the floor a few times. Even in the haze of being choked, Todd heard the boy’s bones crunch under Nick’s blow.

Todd swung the pitchfork, its iron prongs slicing over the boy’s arms and abdomen. Heidi began reciting an exorcism, but she couldn’t contain Jah’lar in a circle of flame and oil. Jah’lar’s hold on Todd was slipping, and his throat was opening, his breathing coming easier. He got it together enough to ram the iron prongs of the pitchfork into the boy’s chest, pinning the body to the train floor.
