Don't Date Co-Workers

An old injury, a co-worker and a cat - with an ending that will shock all three of them.

Bernard is a successful, but broken, middle-aged car salesman with a smooth plan in mind. Nancy is an attractive co-worker who invites him to her home for her own special plans. A short story with a strange and surprising horror-filled twist.

And there's only one witness that can tell the story.


The Hand by J.F. Watership is strange and somewhat predictable, but oddly entertaining in a way only horror fans will appreciate. Nancy is socially awkward, Bernard appears to be anti-social and the cat is more of a distraction than anything. All I can say without giving away any spoilers is this: if I had read this kind of story in my 20s, I would have been afraid to go anywhere with anyone.

As always,
