A Walking Nightmare

Taking a wrong Freeway Exit to a part of the city abandoned by most, a scholarly woman learns what prowls these dark forsaken blocks after breaking down and losing all contact with Civilization. Frantic steps carry her farther from safety and security, as a brilliant intellect begins to unravel.Armed by an electric torch, blank pages from a Spiral Notebook and a used Ballpoint Pen, Alexis Little Joyce struggles to leave an urgent warning — to communicate from beyond what seems certain to be a gruesome demise. These last words on paper will be all that remain of her, the woman feels certain.Members of a terrifying subterranean horde toy with and track her, while Alexis is burdened by woeful haunting memories. Captured, she desperately escapes to hunker in a refuge and channel her final thoughts into a message that might convey some hope if found . . . floating in the metal tube of a flashlight.The bulb grows dim. Her ink supply diminishes, along with her odds for survival. Alexis wonders each minute whether she is alone, or has already been discovered.A Walking Nightmare is a stunning part of the Author's long-awaited Ghost and Ghoul Collection, SPOOKTACULAR TALES.
