What You Left Behind
by johannespunkt
You have left something behind, quite carelessly. I locked it in your old abandoned room, because that room smells of you (pine trees, heather), and I would think that this thing you left behind would be calmed by that. It just thrashes around, emitting a high-pitched screech at the edge of my hearing, like something blurring in and out of focus. Why did you leave this behind, so carelessly? It even looks like you. You should have taken it with you. I’m sleeping in the treehouse tonight. You have a key. I expect this thing to be gone by morning.
This is terrifying – so creepy in such a short space. I kind of want to say, “Thanks for sharing” but the part of me that wants to sleep tonight just wants to say, “Thanks for nothing!”
Really excellent flash piece.
I’m glad you like/are terrified by it. ^_^ Thank you for reading!
Welcome! I love a good scare and they’re hard to find! :D
^_^ You might want to look under my tag ‘nightmare fuel’ — https://zombiesintelligently.com/tag/nightmare-fuel/ — it contains some stuff that in my opinion is of the same calibre as this story.
Ooh, thank you!
