"SHYPOKE" by Dona Fox - "I watched you, Uncle Frank. I saw what you did."

SHYPOKE

Frank’s back on the bridge, dodging sprawling vines as thick as his secrets, crushing the dark fruit beneath his soles as he flees. He must catch the train. Her voice traps him. The child he cannot ignore. “I watched you, Uncle Frank. I saw what you did.”

He can hear the train’s whistle. She clings to him, holding him tight as the horror approaches . . .

“Like a macabre Groundhog Day” this tale from Dona Fox starts out, as do most of her stories, in a relatively normal setting.. In fact, you forget that this is a horror story. But at a certain point, each sentence starts to pull you further into the tale,, word by word, until you realize that there is something really wrong but you can’t quite put your finger on it. And then, there you are. You never saw it coming. From the normal to the supernatural, Dona Fox always delivers.” (mockingfinch on Amazon)
