~Excerpt~
Jason,
Thinking on my feet, I make a fake lead by opening
up the basement door then I head into the kitchen. In the kitchen, I went
straight for the stove. Looking over my shoulders, checking to see if the guy
was coming, I twist the stove’s knobs to turn on the gas.
A pop and in moments blazes of fire come forth,
showing all six burners were working. Smiling in satisfaction, I twist on my
heels and scan the room for a weapon. Seeing nothing in plain sight, I start to
go through drawers.
Finding a drawer full of knives, I pick up the
biggest and closest to grab. Pulling it out, the long, rusty, square butcher
knife felt good in my hand. Running a finger along the blade, I knew it would be
sharp enough to cause damage.
Perceiving a truck leaving the grounds, afterwards
a shotgun going off towards it, I slam the drawer close and look up. Waiting for
the father to come in after me. Slowly, I walk along the kitchen island and look
down the doorway, towards the front of the house.
The front door slammed open, revealing a muttering
middle aged man. Holding the shotgun, barrel of two, he walks to the foyer table
and pulls on the drawers forcefully. As he went through them, I ducked behind
the wall of the stairwell.
Check out Tiffany's review here- "The Harvesters is the first in a new short story horror
series. Even though it is less than 30 pages, don't let that fool you. This
story packs a punch. Right away we are thrown into a very dangerous
situation."
Thanks for stopping by!
