The Floater

by David H. Hendrickson

The floater in Hiram Silverman's eye screams inoperable brain tumor. No matter how much his eye doctor, Quack Number Two, reassures him to the contrary, Hiram knows he's dying. And when the floater takes form and taunts him, all doubt disappears. David H. Hendrickson, a master at mixing humor with the darkest of fantasy, delivers both in this darkly comic tale.
