The Attraction
by
Douglas Clegg
The signs all along the desert highway read "Come See the Mystery!" But some
mysteries should remain buried forever. Charlie Goodrow, owner of the Brake
Down Palace Gas and Sundries, tells anyone who stops for a fill-up about the
mysterious attraction in back. It's the mummified remains of an ancient
legendary
flesh-scraper, whose job had been to scrape the flesh off the bones of human
sacrifices.
When a car filled with teenagers gets a flat tire out in the middle of the
Arizona heat, the kids figure they have time to check out the Mystery.
Behind
curtains, in a glass case, lies a small, withered corpse with very long
fingernails. Above it, tacked on the wall, is a sign: "Do Not Touch. Do Not
Feed."
But it has to be a hoax, right? How could the kids know that feeding the
Mystery will be the worst mistake of their lives? How could they know that
the
flesh-scraper is hungry for flesh?
