One would imagine that the smart thing to do while laying low in a shabby seaside town would be to not indulge in further criminality but the burglars Tim and Dirty Deeds don't seem to share that opinion, and think that knocking over such a fine target of opportunity won't be a big deal.
After all, no-one lives there. Or that's what they heard, at least.
Ya fergot yer "dark" tag again.

This is dark?!
I can't keep up with you people...
Very Lovecraft, but that might just be the sea.
Too late, now I ship Tim x Spooky Ghosts
Consider me spooped. 👍

Nah, I wouldn't say this is [Dark], it's not particularly grim or bleak. There is a [Horror] tag though, that would probably be appropriate.
Definitely horror.
Bandit hats? I've been calling them newsboy caps.... have I been going about this all wrong all this time?!
Oh and the Lovecraft love is obvious and I adore it.

....... That is FANTASTIC Mr. Cackle.
Yeah this definitely deserves a horror tag or something. Not a bad story, but certainly unexpected compared to your usual saccharine stuff.
This story had a very strange Genesis, I'm sure.

A biscuit for you!

Saccharine indeed!
...you're not wrong.

Probably should've mentioned I don't mind saccharine at all.
My only question is will there be a Second Home By The Sea as a follow up?

Which is just that bit longer

Perhaps an Inn by the roadside

I might...turn it on again. It could feature...a man on the corner, or maybe be set in...a land of confusion.
Cough cough.
Needs a Dark, Horror, and Tragedy tag my dude, this isn't Slice of Life at all.
Even though there were only two, and no getaway car to speak of, I was thinking of Innsmouth from the get go.
Was reading this and this popped into my head.
If Dirty Deeds was forced to work in a very low class brothel would that make her,
"Dirty Deeds done dirt cheap".
I'll be in that corner right over there. 🐉
Oh dang.
Eh.
That was something i should not usually read, ouch - i'd go as far as to smash a death tag on this becuz spirit being torn from the body? that is at most death via the psyological level, sheesh
