Forever Night
Two 50 word short stories
This host was becoming a problem.
He needed to be taught a lesson.
Dragoslav surged forward, took control, ripped out the victims throat, and impaled him on the metal railings that surrounded the moonlit park.
When the fetid human regained himself, he would do well to heed his final warning.
Struggling through the viscous membrane of nightmare images wracking his soul, he fought with every fibre to escape this enveloping prison of haunted consciousness and return to life.
No!
John?!
His friend stared back in frozen terror. Pinned like a gore drenched butterfly.
A trophy to ageless barbarity.
The horror.
This character, or should I say these characters, are beginning to haunt me, as you can see from below : -
As I’ve said before, I don’t set out to write everything specifically in micro fiction, unless it’s from a prompt of course, but the shorter form seems to suit someone or something that has only brief control over their body and mind, or is constantly fighting to gain control of it, so it fits these particular set of tales very well.
I have another one on the way where we’ll hopefully see our host begin to fight back against the monster that lives within, but that in turn could mean even graver repercussions further down the line.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed it.
Thanks for reading. Until next time.
Always enjoy these Dan, plus great to see a return to a bit of horror!
"Pinned like a gore drenched butterfly" -- my favourite line.
