EXCERPT:
He hadn’t been able to clean the bones completely. Even with
the help of chemicals there had been a fair amount of meat left, but that was
okay. He’d loved imagining how they would look after being in the ground for a
while. It was only that one femur that he needed clean. So he could hold it.
And carve it.
That thought, that imagining, had kept him in check for
years, right up until Candy had forced him out of “retirement” with all her
baby talk.
And now that he had brought his best girl back into the
light—into the land of the living, so to speak—he was delighted he hadn’t been
successful in stripping her of her birthday suit completely. For the last few
days, he’d found himself nearly salivating at the thought of uncovering the
mysteries that lay beneath the soil where each of the others was buried.
He pushed up the sleeve of his shirt and looked at the
numerical tattoo on the inside of his wrist. Joey. He didn’t look at the tats
on his upper thighs. They were much more difficult to see; they blended in with
the old cut-scars perfectly. Thankfully I made a precise record of each burial.
I suppose my subconscious knew I would need to find them again, someday. He
rolled his sleeve back down.
Ommm.
He straightened the tassels on the cushion. They had to hang
perfectly straight or his OCD wouldn’t let him concentrate. The he got up and
straightened the cords hanging down from the open blinds, and at last, the
memories left him, and true meditation began.
Ommm.

haunted house. Ann has done everything from answering 911 Emergency calls to
teaching elementary school. She lives in Texas with her husband, Dude, one
rescue dog, two rescue cats, and a part-time box turtle named Piggy. When she’s
not writing, Ann is reading. Her to-be-read list has grown so large it has
taken on a life of its own. She calls it Herman.
