An experiment gone wrong leads to demon posession. (For the 100 words of Horror contest) |
| The queen was perched, half raven and barely human. “Sit!” Her word stifled, crawling through coarse orange hair. I bowed in terror before falling into the armchair opposite hers. We were alone. Beyond the locked basement, I could hear Julie singing, the children laughing, unaware of the demon before me. My mind reflected on the experiment, the calling. What have I done? “You have done well” spoke the horror, reading my thoughts. “Now you’ll do more!” Pain scorched my eyes as darkness leaked into my soul, rebellion failing. “No!” I screamed, as my body morphed inwardly. It was too late. |
