This Weeks Short Story
Lust
(Carnival of Sin short story #3)
When Lydia slips into a traveling carnival, Colin follows without hesitation. After all, he’s always watched over her—quietly, carefully, obsessively. She never asked him to, but Colin knows what’s best. He knows her routines, her habits, her scent. He knows she needs him.
But the Carnival of Sin knows him too.
In its bright lights and twisting music, Colin sees Lydia everywhere—flashes of red hair, familiar perfume, whispered invitations that pull him deeper into the maze. And when he finally reaches the Tunnel of Love, he finds exactly what he’s been chasing… and exactly what he deserves.
Because the Carnival of Sin feeds on those who trespass, who covet, who take without permission. And once it judges you, there is no escape.
By dawn, the carnival has grown.
By dawn, it has someone new.
