Mama Bruise is a short story by Jonathan Carroll. It is very weird and spooky and at times it evokes some feelings of psychological fear. The plot is simple. A couple start experiencing some weird happenings in their home and ordinary life that initially are disregarded but eventually are given a plausible explanation according to one of our protagonists. The narration goes a bit back and forth in time but it is cleverly constructed to build up the weirdness and anticipation. The ending was cleverly inconclusive but scary. A very enjoyable short story if you're in the mood for weird and scary. Since it's free on the TOR website, I can't find any reason not to recommend it!
