STORY STARTER

Write a short horror/thriller story where the characters all react to things in reasonable and sensible ways.

If you're tired of characters doing stupid things in horror films, create some scenes where they act like real people!

Sixty-Eight Days

The curtain swayed back and forth, outside a glimmering flicker of what could be construed as hope. It had been two months. Sixty-eight days to be exact. Unless I missed a count which is both unlikely and very likely given my current circumstances. The stench of mildew, mold and living in a cage for sixty-eight days will do that to you.


My abode is cramped but spacious enough for a bed and I have a host gracious enough to provide me with some lovely steel bars for my protection.


What have I done in order to be in such elegant conditions? What have I done? What would I have of done? Unspeakable, ungracious, unbecoming things

Things that a man has to shed his humanity and step forward as something else after.


But I’ve been granted newfound wisdom. A new lease from my release in just sixty-eight days. A man should as I cannot be caged. Even if I cannot quench my rage.
