very short story – Page 8 – Kris Charles

Power

It is said I am a covetous , cruel, and evil being.
That I don’t care about a single soul.
But I was wronged.
The one that should have stood by me choose another.
Turned on me.
I did what was needed to protect myself.
Now I hold the power.
I will never be hurt again.

The Last Question

VSS365 and GrimList2020 Twitter Prompt

A shop of oddities.
Been to the city many times before.
Never during the Devil’s Hour.
To curious for my own good.

A question about my death.
Now, my soul powers the shop of oddities.

Tainted Innocence

VSSMURDER Twitter Prompt

The pin pricked her skin.
A corsage to symbol youthful love.
Turned rotten with death.

Her first victim, the boy who loved her.

Sealed

Twitter Prompts Story

The man I was forced to marry was toxic.
Of this when the fallen found no dissent.
I held high the knife.
The silver glint caught the fire.
I took a breath.
I could not live this life.
The knife came down.
Two days later I stood at a grave.
He was dead.
I knew that one day the cost would be my soul.
Now my body rots in the cemetery.
I stood in front of the Seraphims for judgment.
I snorted at them.
Lucifer looked at me; he smirked “I adore a challenge, HELL.”
He gave his vote on my eternity and sealed my fate.

Marine

He was stationed in Norway.
Never had he heard Joik.

Dedicated to the loss of brothers in arms.
A song that resonated with those who had lost.
He stood listening to the joiker.

Evil

VSSMurder Twitter Prompt

My victim wanted to scream.
The fear coming of them filled the room.
Their pain from glorious torture.
The pleasure for me intense, as their blood dripped to the floor & filled the room w/ the sweet scent of death.
They had been at the wrong place, at the wrong time.

The Voices

You’re not loved.
My thoughts go round & round.
Friends say I’m enough.

I try to believe.
But my thoughts go round & round.

The Rot Within

GrimList2020 Twitter Prompt

I hired a Resurrectionist.
Forbidden Research.
A hunt for immortality.
I could taste success.

The bodies held the key.
I bathed in the blood.
The search for the soul.
I didn’t have one.
I could not die.
This rot could not damn me.
