The Wrong Thing
They call him the Kid. He’s a killer, a dark Latino legend of the Southwest’s urban badlands, ‘a child who terrifies adults’. They speak of him in whispers in dive bars near closing time. Some claim to have met him. Others say he doesn’t exist, a phantom blamed for every unsolved act of violence, a ghost who haunts every crime scene.
