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.
A brew
It bubbles and pops
emitting a fume so foul now,
with skeletons; exo, endo, and fur?
Stir the pot again, and again.
Add in salt, parsley, and carrot.
Churn thrice over.
Agreed to be filling nonetheless.
Not for me, but for her.
She lives and breathes beneath us.
Whispering all the time.
A rustled coo bumbling among the moss.
For in tune, she never misses.
"Who," I asked
"Her."
A shiver sharp like a needle traveled up my back.
"She just wants to dance with you."
And we danced.
I laughed, tears streaming down my face until I jerked. Cold.
