By The Numbers

RED AIRWAVES by Antonio Simon Jr. is a short story about a man who is convinced the Soviets are going to bomb the U.S. during the Cold War. He builds a bunker and monitors the airwaves for coded messages. While chasing his conspiracy, his life falls apart.

The ending is a bit of a surprised. Not the author's best story, but not his worst either.

As always,

Procrastination Is A Killer

HOT WIRES TO HEAVEN: A LIGHT SOCKET LOVE STORY by Antonio Simon Jr. is a flash fiction piece centered on a man harassed by an empty light socket. I love unreliable narration, always creates a shock. (Pun absolutely intended.) The ending is gruesome, but not as graphic as I expected.

Not a bad short, but the author has written much better stories.

As always,
