Just A Moment | AstraDaemon

A hunter seeking big game in the Bangladesh wilderness comes across a village haunted by an urban legend.

WHAT I SAW IN THE MANGO TREE by Aaron Pfau is a flash fiction piece which spends most of the pages setting up the ending. While the story has a tone similar to The Ghost and The Darkness, the characters and, sadly, the setting have no depth. The creature itself is never fully revealed, so I'm not sure if this story even counts as something supernatural. There's simply not enough action to call it horror.

There is potential which would best be brought in the form of a novella, rather than a few pages.

As always,
AstraDaemon
