<p>&ldquo;Little Pests&rdquo; is a suspense horror story that pits a woman and her young daughter against a suddenly and violently unhinged pest control technician who has sinister plans for the woman and the girl whose home he is working in.</p><p>Although he enters their house with no ill intentions it seems as though the chemicals he works with are affecting his mental state and thought processes. &ldquo;Little Pests&rdquo; includes:<br /><br />&bull; An introduction and complete portrayal of both character sets (the mother and daughter as well as the exterminator)<br />&bull; A woman who will find out that there are worse things in the world than cockroach infestations<br />&bull; A man understandably concerned about losing his job coming closer and closer to the brink of madness<br />&bull; A terrifying conflict that ensues between Exterminator and the family.<br /><br />The story starts with horror almost right from the beginning; although with it coming from a very different source than it does later. There isn&rsquo;t a single moment that isn&rsquo;t at least slightly tinged with dread and it&rsquo;s hard to say who feels it more the exterminator or the family he terrorizes.</p><p>Either way it proves to be a grueling experience for all involved and the reader gets to watch it all unfold.</p><p>Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.</p>
