Goodreads asked Lonnie Busch:

Can you tell us a two-sentence horror story?

Lonnie Busch Sorry for the delayed response, but I only recently claimed this page as mine. I had no idea it was even here, as my publisher must have created it but never bothered to mention.

With that said, I started thinking on this the other day while I was on my morning walk. A two-sentence horror story. Of course I could write a two-sentence horror story, my brain already chewing on the challenge. Within a few minutes I had my "truncated" horrific tale, and planned to post it here, until I realized that the idea that had come to me was the seed for a new novel!

When I got back home, I started writing a short synopsis so I'd remember the gist of my idea, and by the next morning had already started writing the book. I love when a story, or sometimes just the main character, grabs me by the shirt and drags me into the narrative.

To sum up, I am not going to share my two-sentence horror story, sorry, but want to thank the person who posed this task! Thank you so much!
