Challenge
October drabble challenge: OH, THE HORROR!
Spooky season celebration! Give me exactly 100 words of HORROR fiction. Please use standard punctuation, spelling, and grammar to craft a prose tale of exactly 100 words. Gimme something that reads like a scary story to send chills down my spine. I'll pick the winner and read all the entries somewhere near Nov 1.
The Horror!!
Diving isn't easy, especially when you lied about being certified. The warm salt water is so nice against my skin and the bright colors spread across the ocean floor almost make up for the tight grip growing tighter around my right ankle. I would hate to ruin this moment by looking behind me. A second appendage slithers up my left ankle and secures its grip. The rush of water past my body as I am forcefully pulled deeper into the abyss pulls the air right from my lungs. I don't know which is worse, being eaten or drowning, we'll see.
