The Daylight Room and other short stories by michaeljdawson

'You should write a story about that.' It's a line that writers hear a lot, a bit like comedians in a bar being told. 'Here's a joke for you.' Best to smile politely and change the subject or get a round in. There are occasions when I didn't do either, and there will be occasions I don't do that in the future. These stories are and will be the result. I also include the background to the story for the curious but I'll keep the identities secret. I don't want you chasing them down in search of ideas for your next novel. :) The Daylight Room: A very young boy understands that what he did was wrong. What he doesn't understand is that the punishment is much, much wronger.

A chill in the air, a quiet tapping in the corner, and the unshakeable feeling that someone is watching.

Trapped in a decaying house with a dark past, one where whispers of missing people linger in every creak and shadow, a young woman is abandoned by the one person she thought she could trust.

What lies beneath the surface of the house, and how far will she go to uncover the truth?
