Falling Apart

The Shed is a place full of memories. Memories of a tragic accident. For Steve, cleaning it will mean a chance to rid the horrors of the day he lost his son.


But there is something else in the shed. Something dark & evil that will make Steve question both his sanity and his grasp on reality.

The Shed by Paul Levas is a flash fiction piece about a father mourning the loss of his son to an allergy attack. The story replays the yellow jacket attack over and over, while glossing over details about the father-son relationship, as well as the husband-wife relationship. Levas had a good idea for a horror story, but the suspense is lost in the constant repetition.

As always,
