The room in which I found myself was dark and when I first hit the floor I was thankful for the straw that lined it. I lay there a while but quickly became aware of the effluvious aroma seeping under the attic door. It was the whispers I heard from across the room that startled me. I could make out what appeared to be a bassinet along the far wall but that anomalous thought only troubled me more.
I was at a loss to understand what was going on. The rumours of voodoo being practiced in this area came to my mind. That might explain the shears I could see suspended from the wall above the bassinet, a crude method of sacrifice as I recalled having done some homework on local customs before I arrived in this area.
Whatever the sounds were that I was hearing and what if anything was in the cause of those sounds was secondary to my immediate concern of the wounds I had suffered during the capture and treatment. The pain was intense and the rough sutures the peasant doctor had inflicted on me hurt more than anything I had ever experienced.
The pain was intense but in the back of my mind was the need to survive which may mean having to recant my previous confession as I feared the ultimate aerial torture, which I knew there would be no return.

Awesome Michael though you have only given us a taste it is very ominous and intriguing taste! I am very interested. Congrats on being the first to submit to the new prompt site! Your friend Georgia will be hosting as well she will be doing a Shadorma challenge on Saturday. Anja will be doing Fairytales on Friday and Oloriel has short stories on Thursday. I am hoping to Anmol will agree to haiku/tanka on Wednesday
Great you have good people around you. Thanks for the comment. Were you expecting a further three hundred words?
The wordle can be any length and it doesn’t have to be a story it can be a poem as well =)
I was just interested in what you had written is all lol
Ok, I thought there was no limit. It is a fun exercise to do. There is a whole back story as well as future story in those few words I know. Maybe one day. Thanks again.
I shall have to look at the new prompt. This is quite gory, you have written leaving the reader wanting to find out more, which is a good thing.
Thanks Jenny, the words said gory, survival and that’s where I went.
Oh was gory one of the words?
No but a theme I took.
Oh now it explains, just saw the prompt and the words you had to choose,now I understand 🙂
A wonderful first wordle entry. I like the way you describe the details, so they are capturing and vivid, but not too boring or dragging the reader down.
Thank you so much Oloriel appreciate you reading and your comment.
Oh my!
Is this a TBC?
It could be RoSy.
Well, after reading the prompt I must say you did really well with it. I’m not sure I could do it, well done Michael!
Thank you Jackie, appreciate you reading.
Fabulous take on the prompt! Wordles are challenging, well done!! 🙂 🙂
Thank you Helen, hope you have a good day.
Scary stuff I don’t think I want to read more lol
Stories can be like that I know. Thanks for reading and your comment.
A pleasure. I see you commenting often on other peoples blogs and was curious as to what you write 🙂
Well I wrote three posts last night, each very different and writing is such fun for me. It all about how I can shape words to create a meaning others might enjoy. Every task is a challenge in more ways than one. The haibuns for example I find a great intellectual exercise as they require a set form and its a great challenge for me to try. Please call again and have a look around.
