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.
i’ll just hold it
It's fine. I'll just hold it.
I sit on the floor, my arm starting to feel a bit cramp from the reach around to hold the knife in my back. He said he would be back for it, so I just sit and wait. My hand gets a bit clammy and sticky from the bloody smudge pressing the hot steel tip near my lower spinal cord. I breathe slowly through clenched teeth, holding it right there, just as deep as where he left it. It hurts, but I hold it for him.
He'll be back. So I'll just hold it.
