Skeletons
by Kenneth
Buff
Skeletons,
everyone has one, and in this collection of dark short stories they're
scratching their way to the surface for the world to see. In Skeletons you'll
meet a man who confesses his secret time traveling fetish, a cashier who
investigates the eerie behavior of his retail co-workers, a torn lover who
travels to her boyfriend's haunted retreat, a teenager who's town undergoes
some unusual changes, and a father who's personal time is moving a little too
fast.
Excerpt:
And Then There Was Only Us
I’m not sure how it started. I know it was me that showed
her the portal, but I can’t remember whose idea it was to start killing them. I
believe it was hers, but I honestly don’t remember anymore. That’s part of
using the portal. You go in too many times and it fries your brain. I couldn’t
even pretend to know how many times we’ve gone in. I just know that each time
we go back we kill them a new way. That’s one thing I do know. I could lie to
you and tell you I didn’t enjoy it, but I did. No woman in the world is kinkier
than my Stephanie. Once I showed her the portal, it didn’t take long for her to
change the way we dealt with the doubles. Prior to our trips, I had always just
waited till my double used the portal before exploring the past. That way there
would only be one of me. Steph changed that. You wouldn’t believe the shock on
their faces the first time they saw us. You wouldn’t believe the pleasure on
ours.
We took full advantage of the fact that no one would ever
know about their disappearances.
