A bead of sweat careered down the dome of his forehead like a wet cockroach. Slapping his head and rubbing frenziedly, he squeezed his eyes tight shut and groaned quietly. What to do? What to do? When he re-opened his bleary eyes, his heart lurched. In wiping the sweat from his brow, he must have caught the curtains, and they had parted more widely. A good six or seven inches. Blinking his vision back into focus, he saw the dark invaders stop dead where they were; a tableau from some obscene pantomime.Hello and welcome, dear listeners, to Haunted UK Fiction – a sister podcast to The Haunted UK which features original flash fiction, short stories, and novellas with paranormal themes.
