The Giggling Mongoose: Scarlet Hearts (Short Story)

After confronting a prominent attorney with three young sweet things for not leaving a generous tip, Charles Goodwin, the cannibalistic owner of The Giggling Mongoose, fumes at not being able to teach the old goat a lesson in restaurant manners until the scorned wife makes him an offer he can't refuse.

This 5,530-word short story was first published in "Behind Locked Doors" anthology (Wicked East Press, March 2012).
