Rockinghorse (2016)
“For a moment he lay still in bed, trying to figure out what it was and where it was coming from. Then the events just prior to fighting and burying the rocking horse returned to the cop. He shut his eyes, mentally willing the squeaking to stop.
It did not.
Kyle sat on the edge of the bed, conscious of his wife’s eyes on him in the purple darkness.

“No.”
“Not at all?”
“No.”
“Why not? What have you been doing?”

Kyle could not suppress his shudder of revulsion at her choice of words. “That goddamned horse is back, isn’t it?”
“Yes. And it’s waiting.”
“Waiting for who?”
“You.”
Kyle dressed and picked up his .38 Chief’s Special, checking to be sure it was fully loaded with five rounds. He walked to the bedroom door and looked up and down the dark hall. He could see nothing. Only hear that damnable squeaking.MoreLess
