    About this ebook

    Two short stories by Sean Monaghan. New lodgings for Bernie Wishman seem to be perfect, even if others in the boarding house seem a little odd. Lila Penchan seems the most normal, even seductive, though Bernie wonders if she's the oddest of them all. In "The Wasps' Nest", Richard finds a blessing may be a curse, as Dr Polkinghorne tries to save a patient with a most unusual complaint.

      The sound of water coursing over rocks filled my ears. The creek banks reached out with lush green vegetation as if to grab and hold me, and the warm June air was sweet with the smell of honeysuckle. The creek was small. Four good jumps and I could g

      “What’d you do now?” he hollered. Sheriff Thorn’s words struck my heart. Without thinking, I grasped the knife to pull it from her chest. “Shit, you crazy coot, drop it,” he snarled, then grabbed me up and slammed me against the side of the cruiser.
