Spring Screams With Scribner: Day 7 of 7

MAMA'S TEA by Joshua Scribner is only a few pages, but manages to be a very sinister piece of flash fiction. Two brothers drink their mama's tea, after her death, for the "courage" to follow through with their mother's special instructions. The suspense flows through this family horror as the tea flows through the boys.

Not much is revealed about Mama or the ingredients in her tea, but Scribner gives the readers enough tidbits to make the imagination run wild. I'll probably crap myself, if I hear someone whisper "pumpernickel" in the dark.

As always,
