Nerves

by Neal F. Litherland

There are mysteries in the world, and they are things that sane, safe people don't think about. Even those that are daily faced with the horrors of destitution and street life can't fathom some things though. But when a crime has reached a level where the dead will no longer remain silent, a witness must be found for their stories.

About the author

Neal Litherland lives in Valparaiso, Indiana and holds a Bachelors of Criminal Justice from Indiana University. A professional storyteller, and an amateur adventurer, he's lived all over the United States and has had occasion to wonder what strange rivers might run just beneath the surface of even the most normal places. That, in part, is what many of his stories are about.

Basic Plot: What should a doctor do when a strange man comes in off the street with an even stranger tale to tell?

This one started off creepy, then kept piling on the layers until a normal reader would begin to wonder how on earth the author could top the whole thing off. Then he did. The characters are definitely secondary to the crazy events of the story, but it doesn't detract from the overall effect. And boy does it have an effect.
