(A horror story in 50 words.)
They say you shouldn’t look at the sun when the moon blots it out, but he stares.
His eyes dance with painful afterimages, and he can’t see the things that rise from the earth when the sun reappears.
But he feels it when they touch him, set him on fire.
(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. I can’t believe I’m more than halfway through the challenge! Please leave some applause if you enjoyed it. And if you liked this, I’ve written longer stuff too.)
