(45) Fever Dream
(A horror story in 50 words.)
I bask in your fire as I perch on your chest.
You wake up choking, trying to gasp the air back into your struggling lungs. And I love the terror in your eyes.
You’re wondering: Is this the time your breath never comes back?
I’ll let you breathe.
For now.
(Hi, everyone. Please accept my apologies for missing two weeks of stories. I have been really sick and am just starting to feel somewhat human again, so I’ll try to get caught up on everything ASAP.
I committed to doing The Writing Cooperative’s 52-Week Writing Challenge, and my choice is a 50-word horror story every week. Please leave some applause if you enjoyed it. And if you liked this, I’ve written longer stuff too.)
