Bringsville
A short story about a principal's cruel act against a student named Gregor.
Mollet’s Bringsville centers on a single, intense encounter between authority and vulnerability. The narrative follows Gregor as he lies on the ground, unable to comprehend his fate. The principal returns with gasoline, dousing the young man before delivering a violent kick. The scene emphasizes the principal’s detachment as he smokes a Camel cigarette, watching Gregor suffer. This approach strips away romanticism, leaving only the brutal facts of the abuse. The text uses simple, direct language to convey the horror without embellishment. It focuses on the immediate physical and emotional impact of the violence. The story does not provide context for the characters’ pasts or futures. It remains fixed in the moment of aggression, forcing the reader to confront the severity of the act.
Published in 2018 by Independently Published, this work sits within the US market for horror and gothic fiction. It reflects a trend of independent authors exploring dark psychological themes without mainstream editorial constraints.
