Occupied / Vacant

Dragana Drakulić is going to shut an operation down.

In the world of scummy, sleazy motels, actions have consequences— that's usually how people end up there in the first place. If you can drown out the dripping ceiling, the knocking radiator, and the squeaking of mice, you might hear a racing heart kept beating only by a thirst for revenge!

Dragana is pissed at some hootin' and hollerin' scuzz enthusiasts; to her their continued casual judgment is a stain on humanity as unspeakable as some of the ones you might find on these never-washed mattresses.

Matthew Atkinson brings you a grimy, sweaty, vicious SHORT STORY from his collection, Final First. "Occupied / Vacant" will check into the biggest room in your mind and not leave till everything rots.
