SKELETON by Ray Bradbury #WeirdDarkness

Published: April 12, 2024, midnight

b'It\\u2019s #ThrillerThursday and this time I bring you a strange story from master storyteller, Ray Bradbury. The story is odd in the beginning and gets slowly darker as it progresses. Our protagonist, Mr. Harris, has slowly become more and more obsessed with his own skeleton \\u2013 which he only sees as a symbol of death, as an enemy. He sees his skeleton not as a part of him, but as a separate entity continually working against him\\u2026 eventually coming to believe his skeleton is trying to kill him. While it\\u2019s obvious the man is quite mad, it\\u2019s still an interesting journey as he plunges further down into his madness as the story moves forward.
