With my tooth aching and the urge to get to the kitchen to find the pain tablets my mind was occupied with relief.
I rushed down the corridor as they watched and muttered amongst themselves in foul and hideous whispers.
The realisation of my predicament, one beyond pain relief, dawned on me as I took my first gulp to wash down the pain tablets, which were suddenly superfluous.
Written for Chuck Wendig’s writing prompt: “A horror story in three sentences”

Chilling!! 🙂 🙂
Thank you for reading Helen. My first go at a horror story, at least a three sentence one.
Those were 3 incredible sentences! Nicely done!
Thank you Cubby, so nice of you to read and comment. Have you seen the two sentence horror stories?
No, I do not believe I have…
Have a look:
the first one is the scariest…lol
Very well-done! I am not sure I could write a story in three sentences.
Thanks Gabriella, I am sure you could ‘grapple’ with three sentences…lol.. give it a go!
LOL! Not now that is for sure. I have more work than I care for. One more week and I’ll be on holiday though.
Well a holiday is something to look forward to. I hope you have a good time.
you have done well in telling a story within 3 sentences – nice and dark write Michael. 🙂
Thank you Jenny, this was a fun one to do.
Takes some skill to get a story in 3 sentences.
And – looks like you’ve got it down too!
Oh thank yuo RoSy. This was a fun exercise to do.
