Just a quick reminder for the weak of heart: we are knee-deep into October, which is time for Halloween decorations and horror stories. So, BlockHeadZ will have a spooky edge (but still funny), and the 99 Shots will play around in the horror genre as well.
Remember during spooky season to check out my horror anthologies 13 TURNS and 13 MORE TURNS as well as my horror novels UNDERBRUSH and THE ORGAN GRINDER.
THE ORGAN GRINDER audiobook is getting close to completion! It will be available to buy in the next couple week, just in time for Halloween!
On the subject of THE ORGAN GRINDER, if you haven’t subscribed to my TikTok writer page, give it a whirl. I will be visiting one of the locations that inspired the work in THE ORGAN GRINDER this week and posting videos next week.
Another plug at the end here to spread the word and invite your friends and family to subscribe to this Substack. We appreciate it if you would forward this newsletter to anyone you know.
And now, on with the show…
*99 Shots are complete stories, new each week, totaling 99 words or less.
HANDS-ON WINNER by Kevin Carr
My hand has been on the Buick for hours. The one touching the car the longest wins. But it’s late, and people have been dropping.
Now it’s just me, the DJ, and five others left.
Did that guy’s hand just melt into the roof? He’s screaming now.
The woman who had laid her head on the hood is wailing, her flesh fusing with the paint.
More screaming.
The DJ comes over. He touches the car, and it sucks him in.
Soon I am the only one left. I no longer have hands.
So I drive away into the night.
