Dear Potential Reader,
It’s September, and it might even still be hot where you are, but it seems unfair to leave summer without a story set in the season. Just one more reminded of why you might be happy Summer is over.
Join Adam and his mother on a trip to a friend’s pool party that includes a very uninvited guest . . .
The following tale was forgotten. I have many of these short stories that I write and then move on to far more interesting ideas. They’re exercises in craft, strengthening of muscles, realizations of faults. But every now and then I stumble back upon them and wonder what they were about. Sometimes, their rediscovery reminds me of plans forgotten or send me off into tangents and series development. ADAM UNLUCKY, is such a short story and maybe you’ll see why it is forgettable, but I do have a soft spot for straight-forward horror tales and maybe, this is just the kind of refreshing quick read you need as the last few hot days of the year trickle toward fall.
Hope you enjoy.
All the best,
DAN JIRE
