Mondays Story Challenge
Drumroll please…………… Thanks to all those who participated. All FOUR of you. Come on, I have to have more readers then FOUR who are willing to stretch their writing wings. Heck, this is a writer’s blog, isn’t it.
Well, here’s the short story!!!
Gina’s heart thudded against her ribs. The noises in the dark grew louder by the second. She wiped the sweat from her brow and checked the review mirror. Suddenly she slammed on her brakes and gasped. Fear chocked the breath from her lungs. There in the road was a chicken, and she asked the chicken, “Why are you crossing the road?”
And the chicken said “Bok bok”, and continued running in terror down the road.
Gina looked up and saw a gigantic dead deer, and feasting upon its entrails was the most horrifying beast she had ever seen.It raised its heavy head for a moment and she realized it saw her. She had to turn around. She needed to run, but her legs had turned to lead, and her heart burned like acid in her chest.
Wake up! Wake up, Gina! But it was no use. The coma made it so she could not scream out. She could not open her eyes. She was trapped inside the continual nightmare.
No one was sure if she knew it, but her family was there right beside her. Her husband wasn’t sure what he would do if she didn’t snap out of it. She did so much for the family. She was a fun and creative mom, dedicated to homeschooling, while trying to fulfill her dream of becoming a published novelist.
If only she would wake up!
Great job everyone!
