The one with the Flashfiction

I am so excited!  My new years resolution this year was to devote myself to writing again. I’ve missed it so very much.  And one of the ways I maintained my creativity was participating in Wonhundred Word Wednesdays!  If you haven’t been with me in this before, it’s a one hundred word short story based off of a single prompt.   Let me tell you, it’s not easy. It’s just enough to spark some creative juice and make you want to go tearing into a new story. We won’t even talk about the difficulty of hitting 100 words on the dot!

Allow me to introduce you to this week’s creepy story.

The Prompt: Outside the cabin, the wind howled through the trees

 

The Cabin

Outside the cabin, the wind howled through the trees and mixed with the keening whine that set my heart racing. I crouched under the table, gripping the handle of the kitchen blade tightly.

A shadow filtered through the window and the handle of the door turned. The deadbolt stopped it from opening and I stifled a cry with my other hand. The sound stopped immediately as the creature sniffed loudly at the door before erupting into howls that would haunt my nightmares.

I should have known I wasn’t safe, that the werewolf that bit me would come back for me.

Can you tell I’m itching to dig back into the world of paranormal?
