I mentioned a while back that A cappella Zoo was going online with stories. Well, you can now read "A Sort of Honeymoon" from issue #2 for free. The story lands just over 1,000 words, so it'll be quick and painless. I promise.
It's not a horror story. Not even dark.
In fact, I write an awful lot of not-so-dark fantasyesque shorts. Maybe the ol' blog needs another face lift?

That got me all emotional *sigh* I remember those old jungle gyms. I also remember the wonderful metal horses on the swing-set. All gone, replaced with plastic crap.
I enjoyed that sentimental story. Quite a bit different than your usual fare.
I like it. It got me all sentimental for back in the day when everyone knew each other in the neighbourhood.
i never did jungle gyms. too high. dangerous. scary...
Awesome story Aaron. Really good.
Really liked that, Aaron. It was different in a way, but the skillful buildup of tension was not. You play us like a friggin piano. Niiiice.
Left me smiling. What "The Mangler" might have been if Stephen King had had a happier childhood.
This Aaron fella's got some talent! Gonna keep my eye on him.
Nice little tale, Aaron. I’m all for a bit of sentimentality now and then.
Very nice. Show's that you have not only talent, but range as well.,
Great job!
Thanks, everyone. I wrote that story after reading Jeff Vandermeer's Secret Lives. I don't really know why...maybe secretly I'm a sentimental sot.
That was strangely moving. I love the way you describe the neighborhood. :)
That's a beautiful story, Aaron. So original and imaginative and awe-inspiring. I'm going to carry it around with me for the day.
Oh, but I should add that it's missing one thing - a trailer. ;)
