A person doesn't have to die to haunt you.
Love it Lyndsey, love this line: “Moon-pocked eyes, dull as flour.” A haunting story, now I’ll be scared to walk past the corners of my house lol.
Thanks, Nancy! I was thinking about how memories can stick with us in a harmful way. Then I wondered ‘what if other people’s memories did, too?’
Love a creepy flash fiction!
Thank you!
I love the subtlety here!
Had a moment where I forgot I was reading fiction and despised the narrator for leavng her friend, or at least not going for help. Vary effective. Well done.
Very. 🙄
Not the best friend to have, for sure. I thought I would feel sorry for her, but then I didn't.
Oh that is so creepy good!!!
Thank you so much!
You are welcome! I'd love to do an audio teaser from this story, if you're interested. Here's an example of what I've done in the past. But no worries, if it's not your thing. https://open.substack.com/pub/tellmeamystery/p/audio-excerpt-from-dark-device?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=19f5he
That's amazing! You are so generous to offer. I would love to see what you “hear” when you read it.
Fantastic! I'll have something soon!
Thank you! This is exciting!
Marvelous! I want to dig deeper into this, to know more about both of them. The narrator’s voice is perfect, haunted forever by memory. Brilliant!
Thanks, Liz!
