The sign said ‘Rail Man Exhibits’ in bold letters. Its painting of a young man bound to a cross of fence rails caught Gregg’s attention and he decided to stop. He needed a leak anyway.
The middle-aged man inside, sanding a length of timber, saw his distress and point to a door. Gregg rushed inside.
Coming out of the toilet, Gregg got a crack on the head. When he awakened, he was bound to a cross made of two timbers. The older man grinned at him. “Five days in the curing room, then you go on exhibit. Thanks for stopping by!”
Yikes. Who knew taking a leak could be so dangerous. As always, nicely done, Bobby.
Terror without gore, loved it.
Whoa! Creepy and fantastic!!
Great story Bobby. Minor detail, “…pointed to a door…”
Christ!
Ye olde curing room! Gregg jerky..? 🙂
Really good horror story.
Great illustration of life imitating art , worthy of Edgar Allen Poe
Hey, folks, many, many thanks to all for the positive feedback. It’s encouragement like this that keeps me writing.
I agree with Mike – definitely shades of Edgar Allen Poe. But I still have to say……well done………
I hear the voice of Vincent Price. Well done!
Very creepy and atmospheric. Well done, Bobby!
Creepy! Well done!
