a taste of craig's writing

Here is some extremely short (flash) fiction. It was written for an anthology but didn't get in (another one of mine did though) - I like it nonetheless (parents can smile).
HE'S HERE
By Craig Bezant
Headlights swung through Henrick's living room blinds, stirring him from a novel's pages. Brakes squeaked. A handbrake snapped on. Henrick threw the book and fumbled below the couch. It was coming again. It wanted to whisk his child into the night.
Henrick despised the very notion. His hands clutched his shotgun as gravel crunched beside the window. He pulled it out whilst leaping from the couch, attempting to reach the front door first.
But the doorbell rang.
Henrick could hear his daughter running to her room and he wanted to join and console her but…He opened the door, shotgun cocked.
The boy outside seemed unfazed. He simply smiled and asked for his date.
