“SKELETON” by Ray Bradbury #WeirdDarkness
Listen to ““SKELETON” by Ray Bradbury #WeirdDarkness” on Spreaker.
IN THIS EPISODE: It’s #ThrillerThursday and this time I bring you a strange story from master storyteller, Ray Bradbury. The story is odd in the beginning and gets slowly darker as it progresses. Our protagonist, Mr. Harris, has slowly become more and more obsessed with his own skeleton – which he only sees as a symbol of death, as an enemy. He sees his skeleton not as a part of him, but as a separate entity continually working against him… eventually coming to believe his skeleton is trying to kill him. While it’s obvious the man is quite mad, it’s still an interesting journey as he plunges further down into his madness as the story moves forward.
