Attack

Micro-fiction humor or maybe horror? It’s a husband wife conversation so must be a horror I guess.

The wife asks her husband, “Darling! Do you remember my birthday?”

When his foggy mind sees only the dancing numbers 1 to 10, the husband panics — sweat dribbles down his face, his heart hammers thud thud as though it’s trying to break open his chest to jump out and run away far and safe.

Wife asks him with concern,
“Oh, darling! Why do you sweat so much? Are you alright?”

Grabbing this opportunity, the husband lies down on the bed clutching his chest and mumbles in between his pretend gasps,
“Baby! I think I suffer a heart attack. I am afraid, I am dying.”

“Oh, no. Not yet! You didn’t tell me if you remember my birthday?”

The husband gets a real massive heart attack.
