Dear Potential Reader,
I’d like to share with you my horror short story A JAR OF FORTUNES, in which a husband is curious about receiving a fortune from an old lady’s pickle jar.
I intend to post one free short story every month. Check back every First Friday of the Month for a Free-to-read short story.
A JAR OF FORTUNES is an old one, having first been published over a decade ago. It’s one of those quick reads, almost flash fiction, that I was trying to perfect to make sure I kept a reader’s attention. But I’ve always loved the idea being affected by something we don’t believe in, as if disbelief is some kind of protection against the supernatural–the opposite of something like A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET in which an entity’s power is derived from victims believing in his existence.
Hope you enjoy.
All the best,
DAN JIRE
