My heart pummeled inside of my chest. The hammering of my pulse drowned out the world. My eyes rolled back as my body shook.
A loud gasp escaped my lips.
Your lips separated from my neck, and everything became a blur as I fell to my knees. My skin pale as snow, my body thumping with ecstasy.
I touched the fresh puncture marks on my neck. My heartbeat faltered, then faded to nothing. The eternal cold settled in, and I couldn’t stop myself from smiling.
Now, we could be together forever.
Today marks one year since I started posting actively under The Fiction Dealer. It was just to 4 subscribers back then, now we’re almost at 1000. I’m truly grateful for each and everyone of you reading this. Thank you.
If you want to read the story I opened up with click below! It is a silly piece of flash fiction about a library like no other.
This one came out in a blur. Pun, definitely intended.
Rage
She couldn't remember much. She cursed after the car cut her off, no one heard of course, her windows rolled up, and blew her horn. The car ahead stopped. She'd read stories about people losing their cool, losing their lives over something as small as a toot of the horn. How people brought guns to a battle based on a sound or gesture, and thought, as the man got out of his car, hand at waistband, that she wasn't ready to die just yet, and hit the gas, eyes closed.
Lydia couldn’t see anything clearly. All out of focus. Eye doc prescribed drops and lenses. Suggested squinting. Still foggy.
Her hubby said she looked too closely at everything, to give things some room to breathe. Moving back didn’t help.
Preacher said she was too detached, needed to zoom in. No change.
Shrink suggested she stop crying, said that makes everything fuzzy. But Lydia was all wept out.
Finally, she consulted grandma. “You’re moving too fast honey. That makes everything blurry. Slow yourself down.”
That did the trick. 20/20 after that.
