Horror Prompts’ Gillian Church has created 28 single-word prompts and challenged writers to write a horror drabble for each. A drabble is a story of exactly 100 words, no more, no less (not counting the title).
Can you do it?
The Prompt:
Kiss
The Submission:
The last thing I expect was Corey Trainor to show up outside my dorm room, but I wasn’t gonna complain!
He pushed past me, babbling something about having waited too long.
Like I cared! Corey was a dream! And here he was, in all his six-foot, shaggy-haired glory!
He grabbed me roughly and pulled me in for a kiss. I felt butterflies in my stomach; my lips were tingling!
Suddenly, Corey withered and decayed before my eyes; his skin turned to ash and he screamed a silent, agonised wail as he crumpled to dust.
“Too long! I waited too long!”
