Scary Story
100 Worder Books Don't Lie
Janet Bunce
Satan’s Whiskers
cocktail
‘Long ago in a time
when humans were hunted,’ reads Janice to nephew Tom.
She glances at Tom already
asleep after one sentence.
Silly book thinks Janice laughing at the
grotesque cover.
She
creeps downstairs, pours a glass of wine and settles to watch TV.
She
flicks channels. Nothing appeals on this Halloween night.
Eyes
close. Unread pages of the book reverberate in her mind. ‘Must be the wine’.
An
evil cackle rocks the room.
Dreaming she thinks.
Opening
an eye she gasps. The TV displays a painting (a Goya she recalls) but clearly
the person being eaten is her!
About the Author
