The Tourniquet

The Tourniquet is a humorous story set in the 1960's in the fictional southern town of Looksgood; a place where everyone knows everyone else and their business. When beloved handyman Ed Catchit is found dead, and the "Emergency Services" of his would-be rescuers Frankie and Ted Daily fail to revive him, he is laid to rest. Though sad, all is well with the townsfolk until The Mill suddenly shuts down, Blossom Spring dries up, a case of peanut butter poisoning spreads like a wildfire, and confusion between permanent wave solution and a depilatory threatens to put the premier beauty shop out of business. Is this run of bad luck merely coincidence, or is local busy body Sandra Jane Turmoil correct when she blames Tanner Puddingdome...the cross-dressing mortician who removed Ed's tourniquet; a old blue cloth he wore tied around his leg every day of his life, for unleashing a curse on the town? Filled with humorous dialogue and relatable characters, Looksgood is the town we all grew up in, or wish we had. It is a place where Superstitious Curse Believers are on the rise, and Rational Thinkers get rarer by the day. Will Frankie and Ted Daily along with their friend Bochman be able to satisfy the vengeful corpse of Ed Catchit? Well, pay a visit to Looksgood and see for yourself. Choose your side, but be warned, when spending time in Looksgood, it's best to check your reason at the door.
