Blood Tax | AstraDaemon

Two fisherman hit the Chesapeake Bay in the midst of a season long crab shortage in order to save their business. If they don't bring in a haul and pay off their loan to Otis Bailey, the King of the Old Bay, they're as good as dead. Unfortunately for them, Otis is the least of their worries.

OLD BAY KING by Donnie Goodman is a flash fiction piece disguising a creature feature as a crime drama. A couple of business partners decide to go crab hunting in an area they were warned about, but their risk pays off in more ways than one. However, the tax on their find requires more than money...it will cost them a pound of flesh and more.

I'd like to see this one made into a SyFy movie, and I'll definitely be keeping this author on my radar.

As always,
AstraDaemon
