Squeal

James wakes up with no recollection of how he ended up in a culvert full of corpses in the backwoods. He struggles to escape the confines of the pipe, and quickly realizes he should have stayed home that night.

This Little Piggy by Craig McGray is an excellent flash fiction nightmare, definitely not for those with a weak stomach. The author drags readers into the culvert with James through a gory description of his injuries, offering a break from the sickening setting with a flashback of good ol' Johnny.

I had my own flashback to Bricktop in the movie, Snatch. I enjoyed this story much more than McGray's other short, Madeline.

As always,
