★The 1980s supernatural prequel to Meet At Midnight.★
Desperation for cash has led me down a rainbow-painted hallway to Frankie’s Funhouse—a children’s gambling casino. Or as my boss likes to call it, a pizza arcade.
The coworkers are strange, the patrons are disturbing, and the animatronics are possessed. Which I was willing to put up with until my boss died.
Well, he was murdered, actually.
Now I have to serve pizza and birthday cake while thinking about burning down the mall to hide a body for an animatronic that keeps hitting on me.
Drug dealings in the backrooms, puddles of blood seeping out from the storage closet, and parents threatening to talk to my (dead) boss if I don’t get their screaming kids' pizza was all manageable...
Until I realized I didn’t mind Frankie’s possessed tongue in my mouth.
This town wasn't big enough for two serial killers and tonight was the night that issue got permanently fixed. Even if it was a pretty issue. Downright heartstopping, actually, if the news could be believed. Our local femme fatale didn't leave anyone alive.
I'd done my research--studied every single piece of information I could find. Perhaps I was a little obsessed. The shrine covering my bedroom wall certainly would agree. I'd even played out a few scenarios that ended with her taking my knife in much more creative ways than usual.
Whatever the case, my rival was dying tonight. "Meet at midnight", that's what the letter said. Cute.
Don't tango with the devil, sweetheart, he doesn't play fair.
