Occupied

On a very hot day in a remote park, Brenda Chapman takes a jog, trying to keep in shape for her upcoming wedding. When she crosses paths with a knife wielding maniac, however, Brenda takes refuge in the first place she finds – the Biffy Palace, a pre-fab, sweltering, green outhouse.

Unfortunately, the killer is very patient. Can she outwait him? Can she outwit him? And if he doesn’t kill her, can she survive the overwhelming heat and odors of her newfound fiberglass prison?

Join author Joel Arnold in this short story of crime, suspense, and intolerable smells.
