Cliche: A Comedy of Horrors
The most cliche-ridden horror story you will ever read, complete with an evil doll, a child drawing crazy stuff in black crayon, a wheelchair moving seemingly on its own and cats running out and startling people. Oh, so many cats. This was just for macabre, stupid fun.

About the author
Dwayne Fry
62 books133 followersA jack of all genres and Master of None, I like to dabble in writing most anything that suits my current fancy.
'Though I've been writing since age eleven, I hadn't bothered to publish anything until a few years ago, starting with my short story Old Pops' Last Beer. Since that time I've put out a few dozen short stories, along with a few novellas.
I consider my first published novel, Rave On to be a fiftieth birthday present to myself, having shoved it into the public eye on that semicentennial landmark. I often refer to it as a "magical, musical, romance". It's a story of what happens when a rockabilly singer from Iowa meets a mysterious magician from Romania.
My second novel is Suckers & Rogues, a coming-of-age saga set in the mid-eighties in which I examine teenage angst.
My third novel, which should be out by summer of 2022 is untitled at the moment. It is a paranormal mystery / horror about a group of ghost hunters exploring the secrets of an abandoned kiddie theme park.
When I'm not writing, I work with special needs adults or spend time with my wife and my dogs.

It was a cat!
Another entertaining read by Dwayne Fry. To be honest, I didn't know what I was getting into when I chose to read this short story. I just needed something quick and since I had read other shorts by the same author, I told myself why not? I started this while I had just a little bit of free time. Good thing it was short because I forgot everything else around me and finished it.
I can understand why some people might feel the story was all over the place, but there was a pattern to this madness, and quite frankly, I loved it. Cliché? But of course! But that's what made it fun to read.

Quite silly, but in a good way. Not much I can say beyond that as this is rather short and, well, the name says it all anyway.
