Ricochet

by Blue Cole

This short story is the precursor to Blue Cole's upcoming full-length horror novel, Evil Upriver.

“You can eat, you can drink, you can dance,” said the barkeep. “Our songs are three for a dime, and all you need for a good time. Come.” These words are more incantation than invitation, as a young couple soon finds out. Ricochet is a place where everybody knows your name. . . and much more.

His aim is to tell a good story, in any genre, at any length. Memorable characters in mind blowing concepts occupying believable settings characterize his work.
