About this ebook
Alone on an empty, eerie road in the middle of the Sacramento Delta, Carla fumes at the boyfriend who abandoned her. The sun sets. A car appears. A pleasant looking couple offers wary Carla a ride.
The fare: "Tell us the story."
Not just any story. The story.
But this is one story Carla would rather not reveal to complete strangers.
Or to herself.
A contemporary fantasy short story from Dale Hartley Emery.

Carrion Road
Carla’s feet hurt. Her heels twitched as she walked along the shoulder of Carrion Road. The back of her right shoe chafed against her heel. A blister seemed inevitable. Her purse smacked against her ribs and the strap bit into her neck. Ahead the shoulder of the road rolled off, and at the bottom of the small embankment a murky puddle refused to reflect the moonlight. Carla twisted off one shoe and then the other, tucked them under her arm, and stepped tenderly toward the embankment. The roadside gravel, which was cooler now that the sun had set, prickled the soles of her feet. She licked sweat off her lip.

she said to the quiet, still air. Not satisfied, she tried again. Fuck you!
