Did I mention that my short story "Performance" is up on Horror World for free this month (and this month only)? I should have. It's a weird one. I wrote it for Dick Laymon way back when. It was supposed to be in AFTERSHOCK & OTHERS but was cut to keep the book a certain length. http://www.horrorworld.org/fiction.htm

Thanks Paul; I copy-and-pasted this in with the rest of your 'freebie' short story collection on my computer (Demonsong and Definitive Therapy).

Okay. I read this story and I am a bit confused. I am not sure if it is referencing some work of which I am unfamiliar or if it is just so out there that I am lost.
Should I read or watch something to understand the mark on the chin and why they are chasing the protagonist?

The mole has me stretching for something, but I can't seem to get it.Not so much an Oz reference, he's a traveling freak show. I think it's more along the lines of "Muscles" and that kind of entertainment, probably about the same time too. I also think the only place the mole has to play in the story is to identify the woman under different disguises.
What was the "Duane's" referance?
This one kinda stands alone. I was in a weird mood when I wrote it.
