NEW STORY: A Piece of Work
American Psycho meets Vicar of Dibley...
My story, 'A Piece of Work', was published by a new American literary magazine, Flyover Country. One of my fave flash fiction writers, Rick White, calls it '‘American Psycho’ meets ‘Vicar of Dibley’ (which believe me is every bit as awesome as it sounds)'. Thanks Rick!
[9.8.21:} Delighted to receive a Best of the Net nomination for this story from Flyover Country. Details here
Later that night, as the village bathes in the unpolluted skies of a full moon, I rise from my place next to Nicholas (a man who could sleep through a bombing raid) and let two men in to the grannexe. I explain that I have sinned and need to do urgent penance. They understand, as they are paid to, and I take my carefully defined punishment like a man.
