MEDUSA: A TALE OF UNNATURAL TERROR by Tony Richards is a flash fiction piece which begins as a crime drama, narrated by a reporter who notices a disturbing pattern of missing bodies. While investigating, he crosses path with a sea creature he is unable to identify, so enlists the help of a friend with knowledge of marine biology.
In her excitement, the scientist makes a critical mistake, and when the reporter finally discovers the reason for the missing drowning victims, the horrific knowledge breaks him.
I love the concept, but I think the creature in this story deserves a full-length novel, not just a few pages.
As always,
