NEW SHORT STORY — Merit Badges

October 13, 2011 By Clinton Leave a Comment

Alright. I meant to post this last night but computer difficulties kept me up till one in the morning and after that I just did not have the heart to deny myself the allure of my bed and sleep. Hey, I have to work early in morning too.

Anyhoo. I’ll be releasing my first book, self-published through various media outlets, later this month (the first week in November at the latest). Till then I have a short story to offer called “Merit Badges”. Guess what? The short story is FREE. I love free stuff and short stories are much more fun when they’re made available free of charge and not in anthologies with a bunch of stuff you may or may not want to read (that gripe is for another day). The short ties in with the book I’m releasing. It doesn’t spoil, it only teases. Here’s a brief description:

“Three high school teens in the woods on a Friday night… some beers… skaters with a grudge… what could go wrong? Add in a couple of genetically created party-crashing monsters to the mix and all hell breaks loose.

“Merit Badges” is a short story from the upcoming series “Our Monsters.”

Right now “Merit Badges” is only available in pdf format but I’m trying to rectify that. Again, computer difficulties have delayed my efforts. After last night’s problems, I’m lucky I have this fully edited version.

CLICK HERE to read “Merit Badges”. Enjoy!

If you enjoyed the story and are excited about this mystery book called “Our Monsters” (the name of the first book in a series of the same name) then leave a comment. More details to come about the book.
