She is blindly in love with Gideon who cannot bear to breathe in the same room with her. She manages her day in the ignorance of bliss, an element of the marriage that only she knows.

Another Well Written Masterpiece!!

Another amazing story Michael!! I loved how you captured the love/hate relationship between Gideon and Violet. She thought he loved her when in reality he couldn’t stand her and wished something would happen to her. But all in all, I loved it!! So glad you could share this incredible talent of yours with me! Keep it up!! I’m truly inspired!

An odd tale of disconnection follows a quiet little man who wanders about the day, in the shadows of an overbearing wife. Willing to do anything to find the love they once shared, he trails her patiently, almost invisibly, to an unexpected ending.
The author cleverly uses rhythm and rhyme, creating a long-form, poetic short story.

A literary gem that should not be passed over.

When I started to read the old English style of writing I thought it would be a hard read but it is written with a rhythmic tempo, which makes it easy. The story will uplift and surprise you in the end.

Float by Michael Bussa – #OccultSuspense, #GhostsSuspense

Line Blurb
Calder made mistakes he would pay for, though he didn’t think it would be with his life. He quickly learned that everything he believed about dying wasn’t true, after all.
From the author of The Peace of Pi, and Ending in V, comes a haunting new tale that will keep you turning the pages, to the unexpected ending.

Great short story with a unique twist.

If you are a fan of the twilight zone, you need to pick up the many books by Michael Bussa. He is a storyteller with a mind that is a bit twisted but in a delightful way. Step into ‘Antiques by Lora’ a special gift shop. That’s what Tony Price did and now his life will never be the same. The author takes readers on a great journey into the macabre in such a great story with a fantastic twisted ending. As always, grabbing a book by this author is like settling down and telling horror stories in front of a raging fire with an old friend and always well worth that trip.

Dark and funny!

As I read “Ending in V” I pictured two actors in a Hitchcock fashion TV show. It was fantastic!
I felt Gideon was justified in what he planned even though I do not know why he actually felt that way. Bussa’s writing did not need it! He expertly showed the anger Gideon had, and that was enough.
I highly recommend this fascinating short story!

Great short story, you have to read.

This is a great short tale with a wonderful feel to it. Follow Milo, a mild-mannered man as he walks through life. Thinking of his wife and their relationship. he repeats “I’ve done nothing, no, nary nothing” readers are going to be surprised as they learn just what is the meaning behind the words and the true story of the life of the Elek’s, husband and wife. Michael Bussa has a way with a short story that is unique and a pleasure to find.
