Ten years ago I read a short story for a Summer reading class ten years ago. I loved the weirdness of the story but cannot for the life of me remember its name.
So the story began with a kid being afraid of a mysterious floating hand. He worried that in the night when he slept the hand would kill him or something. Later on he recounts the story of Orion's murder and how his cheating wife carried out the deed.
The rest is a bit flaky to me, but I definitely remember the ending, where the kid goes out to find his parents, who were kidnapped by a giant cyclops, and he comes across his parents in a cage, about to be cooked by the giant, but the kid kills him and sets his parents free.
I've been searching off and on for years for the title or anything to go on, but sadly, no luck. :(
