Fishes
Dream of Lonely Things
by
Weston Ochse
(Audiobook) 
 Fishes
Dream of Lonely Things
first saw print in the year 2000, in an anthology called Scary
Rednecks and Other Inbred Horrors .
The book is pretty hard to get hold of these days, but fortunately Weston
Ochse
has included the story in his audiobook anthology Smoky
Mountain Horrors .
Ochse
narrates all of the Smoky
Mountain Horror stories himself
and I doubt anyone could do it better. Weston Ochse not only writes
great stories, he is also a great storyteller. These
are all fun stories, but do you know what? Even if they were
dull and dreary tales, I think that Ochse would make them
sound fun anyway because the style of his narration is so lighthearted.
Fishes
Dream of Lonely Things has a
runtime of about seventeen minutes and the story is about a
young boy called Jeffrey. He has been playing X-Box with his
friend David, but Jeffrey's parents are too poor to afford
air-conditioning and it is just too hot for the boys to spend
the entire day indoors, so they decide to go down to the creek.
The
only problem is that Jeffrey's mother does not like him playing down
near the creek. David reminds Jeffrey though, that his mom has only
told him that he should never go swimming
there and that does not mean that he cannot stick his feet in the water
or wade in the shallows. David's acute logic makes sense to Jeffrey and
both boys are keen to catch a giant lunker or crawdaddy anyway, so they
take a couple of fishing poles and head down to the creek. Sometimes
moms know best though, and Jeffrey should have taken more notice of his
because something nasty awaits him down in the creek.
