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:
Balloon
The Submission:
When Peter told me what that little shit Brody had done, my blood boiled. He’s a sweet, kind-hearted little boy who enjoys his drawing and doesn’t have a bad bone in his body so for that little shit to pick on him just because he’s a little small for his age…!
I knew Brody liked to play down by the old bridge. I wasn’t thinking; I just went there.
When Brody came along, picking his nose, a simple call and the allure of the balloon drew him closer.
He didn’t see the knife until it was stuck in his throat.
