Maxx Fragg, VPI - The ghost of crisis past

Hey all! Welcome back to another Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday! It’s been a few weeks since I’ve participated but I wanted to make sure I snuck one more in before the end of the year. I’ve been busy working with a new comic book company, American Mythology, and we’re getting ready to launch some fantastic new titles coming this April starting out with Stargate: Atlantis  Season Six and brand new The Three Stooges adventures, some of which to be written by yours truly. Hopefully you’ll check them out. Enjoy this week’s contribution from my latest novel, Maxx Fragg, VPI, and before you’re done – stop over at the main site and enjoy all of this week’s offerings by clicking SCIFIFANSAT

Two steps from the kitchen and a blue blur shot over Maxx, knocking him back into the living room. The creature floated above the frightened couple, holding a long silver butcher knife and wearing one of Debbie’s cooking aprons.

“Foooooddddd.”

Travis slipped Debbie’s hold and tumbled over the back of the sofa.  

Maxx focused on the knife. They never added props to their ghost because it only cheapened the effect and the cooking apron was way over the top.

Tane stumbled out of the kitchen and saw their wayward spirit.

“Why is our creature from beyond wearing a cooking-”

“Look out!”

Something hit Maxx from the side and he tumbled to the floor. He spun around, looking for Tane, but no one was there. Maxx noticed the knife handle sticking out of the wall, the blade embedded in the plaster.

“Jason?” Maxx asked.

Maxx knew that voice. It was Jason. But how? His brother died six months ago.
