Breaths in Winter

A Tale of Ghostly Terror

By: Donna Burgess

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

"When the cards are placed just right, I can peer into the portal of night I can see things far in time Clear to the far side of the moon and beyond that, too." Wes Smith is a mundane guy who has just recently landed a coveted, yet mundane, job in a mundane office that just happens to overlook one of the most notorious suicide bridges in the country. Suddenly, his drab life has taken a cue from the “Twilight Zone.” His lover has lost interest, his corporate grief councilor doesn’t seem to hear him, and he’s dreaming of skies that rain bodies. The bridge haunts him through his office window and jumpers are coming back, screwing with his reality. Now, he’s questioning his own existence. Bridges is a dark, modern twist on the classic short story “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.” Originally appears in Breaths in Winter: The Complete Collection of 32 Tales of Terror as the title story.
