Incubus (An extract)

                                                            The more he got to know Usheen Keady, the more Gene Christopher started to believe that Keady was an evil spirit roaming the world for the ruination of souls. In the course of their six-month association, the evidence mounted rapidly before Gene's eyes. This was no mere troublesome, restless spook, making intermittent appearances from the afterlife, but an actual incubus, preying on the living—in the land of the quick—and hoping to suck every good person it met down into the mephitic pit whence it came.

He was one of quite a few bereft souls of no fixed abode who existed in the locality. Henry slept nightly in a thick bush situated in an overgrown section of Saint Stephen’s Green—that beautiful city park. For the past year, this vagrant’s version of domesticity had been his home. Tonight he’d retired early enough, around eight, and immediately began rolling from side to side trying to find comfort in the damp foliage—an impossible task which he knew was doomed from the start. A lack of money and a consequent lack of cider had him thus flustered and he sensed that going peacefully to the Land of Nod was a hopeless prospect. Henry’s depression was grave. The old blankets, newspapers and cardboard of which his nest comprised had become smelly sodden piles over the weeks and sleeping upon the...
