Lay Your Armor Down
by Michael Farris Smith
An old woman, riddled with dementia, walks off into the woods in the middle of the night. A light in the wood draws her to a campfire with two strange, dangerous men, one young and one old, who are there plotting a crime of as-yet-indeterminate purpose.

It charts the course of several broken people, all outrunning danger's dark fingers, and all brought together for one last chance at redemption.
