A Father's
Legacy
by Michael C.
Keith
Ever since he saw Psycho
when he was a kid, Monroe has locked the door to
the bathroom. He knows it’s silly,
especially since his wife and kids are generally
in the house, but he can’t break the 40-year
long habit. He keeps a wary eye out for shadows
beyond the shower curtain and listens for any
suspicious sounds. Because he is in a hurry one
day, he fails to bolt the bathroom door. As he’s
lathering up, he notices a shadow moving swiftly
in his direction. He gives out a blood-curdling
scream and leaps through the vinyl curtain
landing on the intruder. Now his son locks the
bathroom door when he takes a shower.
