MAHAHA'S VICTIMS by Giselle Renarde Keeps You on Edge

[Untreed]

There's no time to catch your breath:

the pacing in this tale was excellent. From Gyta and Kooloo’s interrupted date to a race against time, each scene blended into the one preceding it with ease. I was on the edge of my seat from page one of this wild ride.

Mahaha's Victims by Giselle Renarde:

When crafty Kooloo takes Gyta out in her truck, things get a little too hot and heavy for Gyta's liking. The attention is nice, but she just wants to go home. En route, the truck hits something big. Damned if it isn't a girl! And not just any girl--with her bare feet, sinewy limbs, blue skin, and sharp acrylic fingernails--this willowy slip could only be Mahaha, the mythological Inuit monster.

In the elders' stories, Mahaha's long fingers were able to tickle a person to death. She was a cruel creature, but easily tricked by any clever Inuk. Just lead the monster to the water and push it in. Easy enough.

Kooloo's got a plan to escape the monster's ticklish clutches: push the half-naked creature into the local watering hole. Gyta doesn't know who to feel sorrier for--Mahaha, or the boys at the bar. But can the women execute their brilliant plan before it's too late? A short story.
