I submit work to print and online publications. On occasion, they accept it. I (mostly) don't get paid. Nope. Sure don't. Okay. Maybe I am angry. Deep breaths. I need money. I get hungry. *sigh* Pardon my tirade. As I was saying, I'm a writer.

Halloween night. Rodrigo “Roddy” Sanchez is released from prison after twelve
long years. During his incarceration, his mother— a local exorcist— disappeared
and is believed to be dead. Roddy boards a bus back to the old neighborhood.
One way or another he’s going to find out what happened to her. Armed with two
daggers and a bad attitude, Roddy is following the mysterious trail of notes
left behind for him. He feels sorry for the poor bastards who get in his way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Loraine’s daughter, Eva, is found murdered, mutilated; and the only person that

bones to track down the killer in “The Hired Hand.”<br />
<br />
“The Bridge” pits the superstitious and neurotically-challenged, Benson against
the very real presence of a modern-day troll.<br />

“Mad Dash” is in a hurry to get away from his crazy date, but she has no
intention of leaving… ever.<br />
<br />
Lady Red and her hirsute companion, Clawbear, are seeking revenge in the

has now abducted some of the village children and taken them deep into the
woods.<br />

A Roddy Sanchez Crime Thriller<br />
By Angel Zapata<br />
<br />
It’s Halloween night. Rodrigo “Roddy” Sanchez is released from prison after twelve long years. During his incarceration, his mother— a local exorcist— disappeared and is believed to be dead. Roddy boards a bus back to the old neighborhood. One way or another he’s going to find out what happened to her. Armed with two daggers and a bad attitude, Roddy is following the mysterious trail of notes left behind for him. He feels sorry for the poor bastards who get in his way.<br />

<br />
The awesome folk out at <a href="http://popcornhorror.com/">Popcorn Horror</a> will be featuring one of the included stories every Thursday for the next five weeks. Today’s story is <a href="http://bit.ly/1hPiAUz">“Yours and Mine.”</a><br />
<br />
The Popcorn Horror website is a horror lover’s dream. They showcase tons of short independent horror films, art, reviews, fiction, and other beautiful nightmares. Follow them on <a href="https://twitter.com/PopcornHorror">Twitter.</a> Like them on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PopcornHorror">Facebook.</a> Invade their website like you’re a body snatcher. Show ‘em some love, people.<br />
