Horror Prompts’ Gillian Church is hosting another horror drabble challenge: 31 prompts for 31 creepy tales throughout March. This time, we can decide on the length of the piece but I’m sticking to the 100-word default.
Can you do it?
The Prompt:
Linen
The Submission:
I swept open the cupboard and frantically spilled towels and bedsheets onto the floor, tears running down my trembling red cheeks.
“Oh God, oh Jesus,” I muttered over and over, realisation finally sinking in.
I finally grabbed a handful of linen; I wound it into a bundle to avoid tripping as I made my way downstairs on legs worse than jelly.
His lifeless body stared up at me with those accusing eyes. Bone, jagged and shining white, jutted from his mangled flesh and his head was half-twisted around on his neck.
I unravelled the linen and began wrapping the body.
