Running Mike

Deadish Allsorts #3

by Naomi Kramer

Mike escaped from Barb's torment with a well-aimed bullet to his brain. But life doesn't end at death, and Mike's now stuck in Hell with the exact person who was out to get him all along. 'Not a happy camper' is an understatement.

This is the third short story in the DEAD(ish) Allsorts series. Timeline-wise, it follows DEAD (and hellbent).

Contains copious foul language. Not suitable for children.

8 pages, ebook

About the author

I grew up in a little country town called Walla Walla. A tiny place - about 600 people and a Lutheran church that, ironically, could seat all of them. Walla Walla had one big thing going for it - a lack of FUN trouble to get into. So when I was a kid, I spent most of my leisure time reading. And writing. And imagining weird stuff. I come by that talent naturally, you know - my mother has a nutty imagination and a nuttier sense of humour.

I grew up, moved to the Big Smoke, made a few dumb mistakes, grew up some more, and eventually realised that I'd always wanted to be a writer. So I started writing again. I wrote, and wrote, and eventually DEAD(ish) turned up in my head, almost fully-fledged, and I decided that Linda, Mike and Trent might just make me famous. *snicker*

I live in Brisbane, Queensland. I spend my days freelancing, writing books, and reading other people's books.

I'm a sucker for Katharine Kerr's Deverry series, Anne McCaffrey's Pern books, and Mercedes Lackey's everything. Less book-related - I'm a vegetarian, fierce feminist, and liberal christian. I wear my hair kd-lang-short, but usually brightly coloured.

This is the 3rd in between novelette for the (Dead)ish series. Mike is running from 3 of the women he dated, then murdered when he was alive. They are out for revenge.

Much like the others, it's an amusing little story. However, there just isn't a whole lot to say about it. It's filler, but it's enjoyable filler.
I had fun reading this.

Wasnt even worth the 99 cents. Took like 3 minutes to read, his x's torment him and they are all left unable to move end of paragraph. No conclusion to anything. Dont pay for this.
