The supernatural

As a kid I read everything. Devoured is more like it. I read mysteries, classics, and certainly more than my fair share of horror, fantasy and science fiction.

I even wrote a bit of "supernatural fiction" but can't recall anything I've written in that genre since, oh, 15 or so.

Well, this weekend I wrote a short story that started off as a story about a hostage situation — I anticipated it to be a straight forward crime story. But somewhere along the way something happened...

The story did not turn out like I originally planned. That's the excitement of writing.

But I am struck by the fact that I wrote a story more likely to come from a horror writer than from me.

Just something I think interesting.
