Video Nasties
a horror story

After he killed her, he returned her library books.
They were piled on a stand by Mary-Anne's armchair, which faced the walnut-encased television set. John liked to watch his videotapes on that, and now with her gone, he'd be able to more often.
If you get away with it...
I will, he snapped back in his thoughts. He shovelled the books into a bag, but not before one last disgusted grimace at them. The Sheikh's English Bride. The Millionaire's Harlot. Love on Ward 7. Kissing in the Common Room. She had no taste, no...

Something needed to be done
The board review came to a decision
They found him sane
One doctor felt otherwise
Doctor knew that he fooled the board and staff
The doctor pleaded with the medical board
They saw nothing wrong
The ex girlfriend was always afraid of him
He went psycho on her a few times
For no apparent reason
She would have liked to do normal things couples would do
Instead, she had to worry when something so small and minute would agitate him
He didn't like that she was talking to her brother
He thought her & her brother were secretly in love ...

A fork, a knife and a spoon
My wife only wants me to spoon her when she's hammered
Any other time, she don't want me near
That's ok
I actually despise her and spooning
One night she came home incredibly drunk
She was all over the place
Stumbling, making no sense
Fell backwards into my cabinet
Breaking some heirloom figurines I had from my family
No apology, nothing
My blood was beginning to boil
I yelled at her, "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FACE!!!"
I was tired, so I went to bed
Few moments later she came into bed

The Invited Guest
One moonlit night I was in my convertible driving through the city of Las Vegas, NV
After losing a lot of cash and getting into a fight with my wife
I went to see a silent film for mature audiences only
As I was leaving the city limits, heading back home in California
I saw a hitchhiker waving me down
He looked mousey, a little disheveled but I felt bad for him
He told me his name was Sid
I asked him where he was headed
He said, “Anywhere you’re going, I’m fine with.”
I thought that was odd
He told me that he was coming from a desert grave...

The Case of the Criminal Queen
a detective story
It was a busy day for Homer Featherstonhaugh and as he leapt from the red London bus, as much as a man of his girth ever leaps, he had a loud enough song in his heart to make the sparrows quit their warblings. He dove into Bidwell’s and ordered a pot of tea and a cooked breakfast. Folks thought it was eccentric of him to eat in a workman’s cafe surrounded by boiler suits and such, or a sign that he was trying too hard to seem like a man of the people, a sort of reverse parvenu. ‘Silly old Homer’ they’d say, ‘Off on his odysseys again. The fellows must think him a...

The Birthday Party
I ordered my own birthday cake
I even bought balloons
Invited friends and family
The party starts at noon
I broke up with my boyfriend
Actually he just dumped me
He couldn’t understand my mind
He asked to be set free
My tiny old apartment
Didn’t have a lot of space
I put out food to snack on
Afraid it’ll go to waste
My mom called first to cancel
After that it was my sister
One by one, they dwindled
My best friend too, I’d miss her
I set up streamers on the wall
Even though no one...

The Glamorous Couple Next Door
flash fiction
They were in a hotel not far from the Spanish Steps. The place was filled with American tourists, including a Mr and Mrs Franks who had sat with them at dinner and asked them to explain various British idioms in their coarse, braying voices. ‘I don’t know how you stand them’ said Jane.
‘Me?’ said Barnaby, rootling through a suitcase on a chair with a broken crossbar. ‘You’re the one who caused them to glom onto us at bridge last night.’
‘I only said that she looked just like me in that hat when I was here last year.’ She threw up her hands. ‘Bah!...
