Void-Image

Into the Void

The dead lurch out of the darkness. They stagger forward with the insatiable hunger of the damned, taloned fingers clutching greedily for my face, my hair, my clothes.

I pull the shotgun trigger again and again, but it clicks empty.

Cornered, surrounded.

Exhausted.

I close my eyes, preparing for a bitter taste of dark immortality.

    Nice one, Hope! I love it how he knows what’s coming… or thinks he knows.

    Excellent story Hope. It was written in a Gothic style that I especially enjoy. Your choice of words serves to create imagery and suspense that draw readers to this short piece of fiction as if they were there.

    Excellent.

    Thank you.
