Don't Eat the Hole of a Doughnut

Surprises lurk inside the hole of a doughnut.

Lloyd Crigg's grandfather admonished him that something terrible would happen if he ever ate the hole of a doughnut.

Gretchen Zins told him that was crazy. She badgered Lloyd to eat the hole of his doughnut. He did. They found the old man's warning accurate. Something terrible did happen.

In the dark paranormal fantasy short story, Don't Eat the Hole of a Doughnut, Lloyd finds that to ignore the advice of his forebears is not wise. You never know where an ogre hides.

The fantasy short story collections Five Fantastic Fantasy Tales Vol. 2 and Ten Fantastic Fantasy Tales both contain this story.
