Horror is pessimism at its bleakest. Worst-case scenario. The darker side of reality. The glass half-empty. The situation unfathomable. In Black Bubbles, Kelli Owen presents classic genre tropes-ghosts, murderers, zombies, what you'd expect (sans sharks)-but it's the characters, rather than the tropes, that experience the story, speak of the horrors, and sometimes survive the inevitable.
Sometimes.
A decades-old crime shocks a family as evidence points to one of their own... An ancient evil hitchhikes its way to freedom... A child has an unusual fascination with decay... A woman excuses premeditation... Death takes a holiday... Science and good intentions make horrific bedfellows... A man hides from nightmares that invade his waking world...
Kelli Owen's first collection gathers over 60,000 words, including a handful of out-of-print, difficult-to-find previously published work, a plethora of new pieces, story notes, drawings inspired by the title story, and an introduction by the legendary Thomas Monteleone.
... I have included the first story, and invite you to check out the entire collection at http://kelliowen.com/bookstore/black-bubbles/
Y/N loved her boyfriend, she loves everything about him but the only problem she had with was his terrible and creepy friends. They were clingy, touchy and mean and everytime she tried to complain to her boyfriend he would always say the same thing.

This is a re-make of my story "ABUSE" that got taken down and I've decided to re write the whole story with the same plot and everything.
