Carolyn Leaves Reality
By Scott L Vannatter
100 words
Carolyn left the nurse’s home feeling discouraged, yet happy. She was let down that she had to kill yet another night crawler, but happy it had not been a child. She gripped her doctor’s kit containing the new items gotten from this last stay and walked out of the suburban area.
It was morning and she stopped in the road to eat. While munching, she looked again at the picture in the book of “World Attractions”. The lighted Eiffel Tower took her away from the nightmare for a moment and back to the civilized world. A sound snapped her back.

I get the feeling this is a look-over-your-shoulder and stay-on-your-toes type adventure. I like where this is going, Scott.

Well done. I like the way you give us a snippet of a futuristic, dark place, and then pull us back… only to leave us looking behind us! Chills. Namaste, indeed. 😉
