Two middle school boys pass on a game of Skyrim to explore strange territory and get a look at the mysterious figure known was The Stick Man…

TJ brought it up after school, whispering as we crossed the street and left Queenston Elementary’s car-clogged pick-up loop behind us.

“Do you want to see the Stick Man?”

We turned away from Queenston Drive, where Queenston Elementary squatted like a long, brown-brick nightmare, and crossed onto Erindale Road. We were the only walkers; all the other kids either got picked up, or left on the school bus.

This episode also includes a brief excerpt from The Holy Terror By Wayne Allen Sallee

Liz eased onto her feet. The sheet, which had wound its way around her foot sometime during the long night’s thrashings, trailed her like a train. She shook it off with impatience, more mindful of her body’s nagging soreness than the ridiculous irony of the image.

He had left before she had awoken. The room was a shambles, his belongings scattered across the floor as if abandoned in hasty disgust…

Closure.

Everyone keeps telling me that I need closure where Laura Burke is concerned. Skeletons aren’t meant to be kept in the closet forever.  It’s been twenty years since high school.

Twenty years since she broke my heart.

I just about went crazy when I heard that she married someone else not two years later.

I should be over her by now.

Our marriage troubled, a rift had formed between my husband and me for no other reason than an inability to conceive a child. I loved him and wanted no other man. I also wanted a child, a family. But our physician had informed us that our prospects were hopeless.

With several years invested in the marriage and a couple more into the relationship I felt guilty for considering a dissolution of marriage so that I might have the family that I’d always wanted. See, David’s exceptionally low sperm count was the reason for our failed attempts to conceive.

Then, one night while lying awake, staring at the ceiling, a winged creature—a demon of some type with large bat-like wings and muscular body—appeared, frightening me. It seemed surreal. A streetlight cast illumination through the bedroom window, lighting his right side. Was I really awake? Could this be a dream? Before I could cry out or wake David, the creature spoke.

“I can give you the child you desire.”

You probably heard that we acted out of fear, and it’s true. That was part of it. We were scared of Rudy Wayne Roberts. There was never any way to predict what he might do, not when he was in one of his moods, and those could hit without warning.
