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:
Green
The Submission:
When I got married, I never expected to be arguing about the colour of the walls!
She wanted green, but I wanted turquoise. Apparently, not agreeing with her made me the most unreasonable person ever to live.
In her outburst, she hurled insults at me that I thought cut deeper than any knife but, as I plunged the blade into her, that turned out not to be true.
The crimson spray splattered across the walls; in her agony, she left streaks of gore staining the room.
In that moment, I realised we were both wrong: red is much more fitting.
What did you think to the prompt for today’s drabble challenge? Did you submit anything for it? Have you ever written any flash fiction before?
