Shrunk to Fit - 3. Fear the Dark
A lantern's light...
How long have I got?
It lurks close by: a shape, waiting, panting, in the pitch black. The lantern splutters; dims, exhausted.
“Set me free, you bastards!”
It scents my fear: growling, inching ever closer.
“Help me!”
One last flicker… then utter darkness descends.
Have mercy, O Lord!
A smidge of horror, this was my first attempt at a tiny tale.
