Thursday Night Game
About this ebook
In this short story somewhere between contemporary fantasy and horror, Jack Radney is a poker player with a history. And a fetish for keeping a rigid schedule.
Until one night he meets Beatrice, who has a highly unusual gift. But her ability doesn't work on Jack. Turns out he's a little bit...odd...himself. And in more than one way.
They leave the game together. Which just might be the worst idea either of them ever had.
Note: this story is included in the author's What Happens in September... collection. He also has three novels available. The Secret, a post-apocalyptic supernatural thriller, was published in September 2015.

About the author
David Haywood Young has written four novels, twenty-something stories, and one full-length work of nonfiction. He's also been blogging since 2009, writing code since 1981, and generally expressing opinions all over the place for far too long. On the bright side, he likes hearing other people's opinions too, especially when he disagrees but finds himself convinced against his will. It's an addiction, or nearly.
Meanwhile, since 5/4/2016 he's been posting free never-before-published fiction on his blog on Wednesdays. He may be a day late here or there, or even skip a week, but that's the plan. Last time he did this (in 2013) he kept it up for 17 weeks. Ever since he stopped? He's wanted to do it again. So, now he is. Maybe forever?
Come on by, if you like! Each story is taken down as new fiction takes its place. Though it'll all be published elsewhere eventually...
He's also working on two new novels. After all, why not? Writing is fun.
