Appalachian Grandpa Tales: Tracks in the Snow
"Reminds me a little of the last time I followed tracks in the snow." The steam rose as I blew into my hands, looking back at Grandpa as he made his way through the snowy forest. It was February, and the weather had been temperamental since Thanksgiving. We had been experiencing some thick snow since the first of December, and the usual decorations had looked very festive this year as they sat huddled atop all that powder. We had picked up as many of them as possible, but I knew that come spring, we would find more of them where they had been buried by the snow. It figured this would be when Clarence, the cat owned by Grandpa's closest neighbor, would have chosen to get loose.

Issue 237
I have acquired Ka-Azar the Amazing, issue 237 to be exact, and it scares the shit out of me. I'm a collector of rare comics. Well, not really a collector. I never keep them for very long, you see. I prefer to sell comics for big bucks. I buy them from Goodwill, garage sales, estate sales, anywhere I can buy cheap and sell high. I'm in it for the profit, pure and simple, but today I may have found something I wasn't meant to own.

The Touch of a Stranger
It should have been the least stressful part of his day, but it was something Steve would never quite get over. The kids had been bugging him to take them to the fair all week, but Steve would have, honestly, rather taken off his skin with a cheese grater. He'd been working all week, and his legs were killing him, but that wasn't the biggest issue at play. The thought of bumping elbows and shoulders with people in a setting like that made him feel squeeby just thinking about it, though Steve would never admit it.

A Monster
"Daddy, look at the piture I drew." I put on my best "appraising my son's artwork" face and looked down at the picture he had drawn. I recoiled a little when I saw it, not really sure what to make of it. It was a baby head, like a baby doll, but there was no body was attached to it. The hair was gone, nothing but dots on the scalp, and the eyes were missing and staring openly. A big silver loop like a smile ran through the head, and the bottom was covered with little metal legs like spider legs. I looked at it for a minute, wondering what this horrible thing was, but suddenly it came to me, and I felt silly for being anxious.
