The Tanning Salon

By: Lee Emerick

Bronze Age Tanning has one loyal handful of regulars, a Buy 10 Get 1 Free card nobody's ever redeemed, and a back room marked OUT OF SERVICE for longer than anyone working there can remember.

Then the owner needs money fast, and Unit 7 comes back online.

Fifteen minutes and top dollar buys a color no dermatologist can explain - and a craving nobody who's felt it can explain either. Business booms. Regulars stop missing their sessions and start missing everything else: flights, weddings, the lives they used to have outside a strip-mall parking lot. Assistant manager Denise Colby has spent eight years training herself not to look behind that beaded curtain. She doesn't have that luxury anymore.

A cheesy horror-comedy novella from Lee Emerick, in the great tradition of appetite, aftercare, and loyalty programs you can't quit - because they never stop needing you back.
