Not often do I run across short shorts that are so amazingly strange and well executed that I feel the need to advertise them. But “Nurse on Terror Island” by Miles Klee is an exception. I must force you to take a look at it over at the Brain Harvest site.
Here’s an excerpt to titillate:

“Avril,” he said, “I can make things melodramatic at will.”
“I’m in love,” Avril wailed.
Ancient thunder cracked the calm. A swarm of birds started up through sunset, drawn into a dense black mass before exploding apart.
“See?” said Dr. Hovstad.’
