(A horror story in 50 words.)

You kill my kindred with shoes, or flush them away.

So I’ll lurk in the dark until you’re asleep. And then I’ll lower myself oh-so-slowly into your open mouth.

I’ll crawl over your tongue.

Down your throat.

And deep into your chest.

And I will lay my eggs.


(Hi, everyone. I committed to doing The Writing Cooperative’s 52-Week Writing Challenge, and my choice is a 50-word horror story every week. This is going to be … challenging, even if I give myself a little leeway on the exact word count. Please click the heart if you enjoyed it. And if you liked this, I’ve written longer stuff too.)
