Frightening Kidnap
by Donnefar Skedar Roberto W. Nobrega“Frightening Kidnap” would be just an independent tale of any given work that I would create over time, but in every little bit of the story that I wrote, I ended up noticing it created its own course and totally swerved from the horror tale I was writing at first. Thus, this tale ended up being isolated and unique, a short and simple suspense tale, full of mystery. Nowadays, it is part of book “Cadavérico”, but the e-version was released separately. This version is the same as the one in the book, the only differences are the inscription and this note, which may be found in the original “Cadavérico”.
