And I'm the Thief by Andrew Monge
from Nails in the Coffin: a Pistol Jim Press series
Thanks to @witchingmetal66.bsky.social for taking a chance on my story for the latest theme at Pistol Jim Press. This one’s a bit of a departure in that it’s a piece of creative nonfiction, which doesn’t bode well for me when the theme is “Nails in the Coffin.” 😳👇

With each pump of his heart, another gush sprayed from his stubbed knee. There was already a big pool on the ground. He didn’t have much time left.

“Somebody help me,” Scottie screamed. He couldn’t even hear himself. “Fred. Joey. Oh my God. Anybody!”

The ghoul didn’t say anything. He lifted the shotgun barrel and rested it against his shoulder, and he strolled away from the door—disappearing into the night. Gunsmoke dissipated toward the ceiling, a cruel whine muting out all the sound in the world.

From my upcoming slasher...
The man in the ghoul mask raised the shotgun barrel at Scottie’s knee, and pulled the trigger. The blast was so loud that it deafened Scottie for the rest of his life. He tumbled to the ground screaming while his leg came apart, severed in half.
