Repossession in Progress
Short Story
Genre: Near Future Science Fantasy
In this short story from the author of Bleedover, a repo agent’s job is difficult, especially when he has to retrieve living characters from film and literature who have bledover into reality. Some of these, like the slasher antagonist Harvey, are a disaster waiting to happen.
Excerpt: Deep inside Catskill State Park, Curve Johnson withdrew his 0.30-06 Springfield bolt-action rifle from his canvas bag and crept forward to a fallen hardwood. In the coolness of the early morning sunlight he calmed himself and wrapped his arm around the strap.
He had only hunted twice in his life but had never killed anything. Hated all the waiting around. He looked at the magazine again. It held eight rounds painted with a fast-acting tranquilizer (so a chem. junky had told him).
On a regular man, the tranquilizer would be overkill; on a freak like Harvey … he hoped his dealer had sold him something strong enough.Short Story
