I picked my son up.
As I drove home, I peered at him. He looked like my son but he smelled different, talked different, and his smile was so wrong.
As we sat at traffic lights, I received a text: Dad, where are you?
That was how the world ended.
Steve Coverdale is an Englishman living in Nova Scotia. He keeps trying to write short stories with a happy ending but keeps on getting dragged back to the dark side.

Thank You.
Windsor Junction near Halifax.
Great story! Makes me shudder. I’ve also tried to write stories with happy endings and failed miserably.
Thanks for your kind comment.
