Flash 55 - The Monster

A ravaging beast full of sharp claws and pointed teeth ripped through my straining muscles to gnaw on my bones, sucking marrow between black swollen lips while injecting venom into my blood stream to works its way into my brain overwhelming me with aching pain, misery and sadness. I’ve had a rough week at work.


Write a story in exactly 55 words.




Merry Meet and Blessed Be

  7. Oh, that is *GRIM*. It sounds like you need a full day at a high-end spa, complete with massage, mani-pedi treatments and cranio-sacral therapy.

    And a three week vacation.

  8. I've had too many jobs like that. Those frakkers still haunt me.

    Good piece, my friend. Hope it improves, one way or another.

  15. I loved it, Nessa! (this is the first blog post I have ever 'rated'--gave it a fiver)
    Sorry it is at 'your' expense. But then I think you are like me, not everything you write is about you.
    Remember, your poet lives his own life! Mine does.
    ..
    Now, the first thing I thought of was of those in-dwelling beetles that Dan Simmons wrote of in his book, Drood. I am really glad that I 'read' that book. Too bad it had to end. Or at least like it did end.
