A Cold, Cold Death For Thomas Baylor

A FREE Short Story

After finishing the second installment of the Deadlocked series, I needed a break. I’d had enough zombies to last an undead lifetime (rimshot) and I needed a quick palette cleanser. What better to do than write a ghost story?!

The idea for A Cold, Cold Death For Thomas Baylor came from a random (utterly random) song that popped into my head. The title of the story, and a part of a song that appears in it, just burst into existence in my mind for no good reason. And with that, the story was unleashed. I sat down to write down the lyrics of the song in my head, knowing that I would turn it into a story, and suddenly I found myself writing, THE END. You’ve got to love those types of stories!

When all was said and done, Thomas Baylor’s tragic tale spanned a paltry 2,376 words. That’s hardly worth charging for, so I decided to put it out for free. That’s right! 100% free of charge.

Just follow the LINK and download this wee little ghost story. If you like it, do me a favor and write a review on the Smashwords site for it. If you don’t like it, well, then lie and say you did! Naaaaw, I’m kidding. But seriously, you should just lie and say you liked it.
