David knows his wife is lying to him. He just isn’t sure about what. He examines her every movement, thoughts of affairs swirling constantly, consuming him. When presented with the truth of the situation, David finds himself presented with options as to how he’d like to proceed. I know which one I’d choose, how about you?? #ChasingGhosts #RichardThomas #Tribulations #CrystalLakePublishing #SpeculativeFiction #AmReading #WhatIRead #Fiction #Bookworm #ShortStoryEveryDay #Bookstagram #Bookstagrammer #BookTube #BookTuber #ShortStory #ShortStoryCollection https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce3PLUrut7-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Good grief! This Lovecraftian tale just made sure I wouldn’t be going into any basements for a loooong time. I won’t be forgetting this story anytime soon. Richard Thomas captured the absolute pure essence of summer & then opened that basement door & let the darkness within stamp it out. #RichardThomas #WhitePicketFences #Tribulations #CrystalLakePublishing #LovecraftianHorror #Horror #AmReading #WhatIRead #Fiction #Bookworm #ShortStoryEveryDay #Bookstagram #Bookstagrammer #BooksOfInstagram #BookstagramFeature #BooksLover #BooksAndCoffee #BooksBooksBooks #BooksAreLife #BooksOfIG #BookTube #BookCoverLove #Books #BookTuber #BookShelf #ShortStory #ShortStoryCollection https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce0n-9nORpC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

BALANCE SHEET by Richard Thomas, from his collection, TRIBULATIONS Society has evolved, changed. Rules are rules and are strictly enforced. If a person breaks the law, there are 2 options: they are arrested & put to trial (always described rather ominously) or option 2, a family member may take punishment that is meted out immediately by the enforcers…with “laser” precision… How much do you love your children? Would you be willing to stand in the gap of punishment? Repeatedly? I can tell you one thing, I would not be like Mr. Jones in this story… #BalanceSheet #RichardThomas #Tribulations #CrystalLakePublishing #Horror #SpeculativeFiction #AmReading #WhatIRead #Fiction #Bookworm #ShortStoryEveryDay #Bookstagram #Bookstagrammer #BooksOfInstagram #BookstagramFeature #BooksLover #BooksAndCoffee #BooksBooksBooks #BookSeries #BooksAreLife #BooksOfIG #BookTube #BookCoverLove #Books #BookTuber #ShortStory #ShortStoryCollection https://www.instagram.com/p/Ces8IlSAUeP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
