The Bluest Balls | AstraDaemon

Love can make a man vulnerable. It can make him weak. But for Troy, the consequences are much worse. Every time he sleeps with a woman, a horrific price must be paid. Something haunts him and won't go away.

WAKING UP TO IT by Joshua Scribner is a short story which made my non-existent nut sack hurt. While the mystery held me in a crushing grip from beginning to end, the reveal is all kinds of weird.

I don't think this is even close to the level of storytelling Scribner is capable of. He's been doing a lot of see-sawing this year for some reason. I recommend his story CIRCLE OF DEATH instead.

As always,
AstraDaemon
