Waspider

by Sam Lang

In this Trestle Press digital short story, Sam Lang offers a one-shot of dark humor and science fiction with a Ron Ungary Inconvenience.

Ron Ungary has never believed in love. In fact, he tries his best to separate all emotions from cold hard facts. He is a scientist above all else. When Valentine’s Day arrives, Ron is the last to celebrate. His well-meaning best friends once again drag Ron off on another blind date. This one leads to an abandoned high school, rumored to be haunted by a serial killer.

Oh, and don’t forget the giant mutated half-wasp, half-spider: the Waspider!

Will Ron find true love? Will he survive the night? Or is this another inconvenience?
