How appropriate "The Thing About a Haunting" is now playing at Every Day Fiction--while at the same time, I'm up to my elbows in home improvements. Once you read the piece, you'll understand.
And by "home improvements" I mean home destruction. I've spent close to twelve hours a day for the last three days breaking my house. I've shattered tile, torn wall board, smashed plumbing, demolished cabinets...
Ugh.
And we haven't even started putting everything back together again.
But we will.
There will be pictures.
I promise.
For now, take a break, read my strange little story, and enjoy the last day of May.

That was outstanding. Favorite line: "Even a small house bares its teeth and fights when it must."
Thanks, Doug. My small house is barring its teeth right now.
Yikes.
Wow, really awesome as always. I'm actually also currently reading We Are the Monsters on my Kindle. Sucks me in just like The House Eaters.
Good luck with the demolition. We;re *still* working on the bathroom we started last summer. :-p
Wow, I really liked that. I'm always interested in new angles on the 'haunted house' story.
I'm won't forget "muscles sagged like lumps of baker-stretched-dough" for a while. Nice one.
Ooh, a new story! I'm on my way to read it.
Good luck with the home improvements. I'm glad we rent. :)
Loved it, Aaron. I've left a comment over at Every Day Fiction.
Well done. I love that last line.
I'm rather in love with the way you used sensation to speak with that one. Like we could feel it and hear it and almost taste it.
And yes. Yes it is appropriate.
