The last thing I saw was my alarm clock flashing 12:07 before she pushed her long rotting nails through my chest, her other hand muffling my screams. I sat bolt upright, relieved it was only a dream, but as I saw my alarm clock read 12:06, I heard my closet door creak open.

3. Miami_Metro

  2. Love it Diane. If I wasn't in the middle of a manuscript, I'd like to try my hand at some of these. But my brain feels wrapped up at the moment, you know? Thanks for commenting! Jamie
