Better Dig 2
Rio Rae Rose shoveled the last of the loose dirt on top of the body and hopped down into the hole. She smoothed over the site with her dad’s old rake.
She paced back and forth over the grave in calculated formations making sure her boots left indentions—like the workers had—before her tampering.
Would such evil remain buried? She wondered when she made her last lap over her six-foot-deep secret.
The question began its evolutionary journey in the thoughts she kept hidden from everyone.
Everyone but one.
In Novella 4 of the The Creep Mesquite Anthology, Clara Bush infuses her love of science fiction and aliens with ghosts and passion in a story of horror that leaves her reader ready for the fifth and final adventure of the alien hunters.

About the author
Clara Bush
7 books10 followersAbout this author by the author— I am lucky to live within the rugged, majestic mountains of the San Luis Valley of Southern Colorado along with the tumbleweeds, pinyon, and pronghorn. I have one dog and three cats that enjoy the wilds of the high country with me, and also, a husband…somewhere…snow skiing I believe.
I grew up on a registered Angus ranch in Cleburne, Texas, riding my horse Trixie, and living in a haunted house, my second haunted house to inhabit in fact. It was these hauntings that nurtured my passion for monsters, aliens, ghosts, the supernatural, and all things that go-bump-in-the-night-for-no-reason.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Education with concentrations in Journalism and English from the University of Texas in El Paso and my Masters in Reading from Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. I was editor of the Texas Professional Photographer magazine for ten years.
One of my favorite jobs was teaching young people to read and helping at-risk-students
earn their high school diplomas. But then again, I also loved teaching drama and doing plays with my students. And sometimes, only sometimes, I miss all the trouble my journalism students and I seemed to attract doing underground newspapers. And I definitely miss the late night excursions to the Antioch Cemetery with my annual and newspaper staffs to look for ghosts and goat man. A story in the making, I promise.
I hope my readers enjoy my novella as much as I enjoyed writing it and will follow me on my journey into other worlds meeting uncommon monsters and unlikely heroes. Hope to see you next in Kuelap Káa, the futuristic city of Man's Best.
