Gladys the Guard — Odette C. Bell

Gladys is a mild mannered girl, living in a mild mannered town. She works in a local haberdashery store stacking pastel-coloured yarns and sticking labels on jam jars. She does not have a boyfriend, does not own a car, and to top it all off she still lives with her mad grandma. The only possibly interesting thing about her, is also the saddest: Gladys is unusually good at arcade games.



But when strange, yowling, terribly violent things begin happening in town, Gladys soon finds out she may be the only haberdashery store attendant who can stop them, and that luckily for everyone else her skills with plastic guns extend to the real variety.
