Bitey Bachman

by Kayleigh Marie Edwards

Brian, a regular guy (despite his love of a certain musical), just wants to finish up his long and weird night at work in peace. Unfortunately, life has other plans for him. Working at a mental institution for the criminally insane can be a bit chaotic on a normal day, but on this particular night, Brian finds that things get a bit out of hand. A hysterical patient here, the jab of the wrong needle there, and all hell breaks loose. Short-staffed, expecting a useless trainee any minute, and obligated to work overtime to help out his peach of a boss, Brian isn’t having the best of nights. Things only get worse when a body goes missing and certain individuals get a bit bitey. Luckily, the trainee turns up just in time... To render him unconscious.

Luckily for Brian, this is the night he’s always been planning for.

Excellent short story, fun and evil and slightly mad. After this and "Skin" from The Black Room Manuscripts vol. 1, I'm looking forward to more from Kayleigh Marie Edwards.
