Andrew Mills is one of those authors I feel has somehow been missed. I loved his book Hell Bent on Success and found it an entertaining, perfectly timed and much needed perspective on the economic problems that have caused calls of armageddon across the globe. Seriously, as though we have never been here before.Anyway, I dropped him a line and asked if he's come and play and he allowed me to twist his arm (just for fun really, he was quite happy to play). He has provided an exclusive short story especially for Halloween on Un:Bound, turned about in around 3 hours. This pleases us. :)
In have yourself an Avon Halloween Andrew considers that most terrifying of creatures, the Avon lady.
"London sucks! Though I don't mean in the way you might think, though at times living in London is akin to living through the Bubonic plague.
My explanation begins at midnight on Halloween. I was watching a documentary on the sudden appearance of black rats and the likelihood of another plague. Generally speaking, I'm not the type to watch documentaries – I'm more of a Schwarzenegger or Van Damme fan. Now that I have had time to reflect, I realise my story should actually begin a couple of hours before midnight when I was rounding the final corner before home and was confronted by a frenzied horde of these aforementioned black rats. It was as if they were having their own rave party on the footpath and subsequently blocking my way. "
Enjoy the rest of this story or read more on our short fiction index.
