Very Short Stories: "Boy"

"There's nothing in the wardrobe, Michael. You're safe. Please go to sleep now." "Can you check under the bed again, please?" Wearily, Michael's mother sighed and bent down to check. "See? Nothing there!" Michael leant over, moving the cover so he could see. The boy with hollow eyes looked silently back and placed a finger on his lips, "shhh..." - Victoria Collins, Kent Coast Ghosts #vss365, or "Very Short Stories" began life on Twitter as an opportunity for writers to share

📚 "A Father's Story" by Lionel Dahmer

Very Short Stories: "Precious"

"You're so precious!", she joked playfully. He turned away so she didn't see him blush, and shuffled nervously in his seat. "No," he smiled, turning toward her and reaching out to touch her cheek, "you are." His icy touch spread through her body. She tried to scream, but her face had already turned to gold. - Victoria Collins, Kent Coast Ghosts #vss365, or "Very Short Stories" began life on Twitter as an opportunity for writers to share a short story within the Twitter charac

Very Short Stories: "Tunnel"

The train jolted to a sudden stop in the tunnel. The carriage fell silent. He peered out of the window, wiping away the haze from his breath. Pressing his nose against the glass, he strained his eyes to see into the black abyss beyond. He didn't need to. Everyone heard them coming. - Victoria Collins, Kent Coast Ghosts #vss365, or "Very Short Stories" began life on Twitter as an opportunity for writers to share a short story within the Twitter character limit based on a daily

Very Short Stories: "Fury"

We call them "The Fury". We think they began as drug trial patients, but no one knows for sure. They hunted in packs, devouring everyone in their path like human locusts. Eventually, they starved to death, but many of their deformed offspring survived. It's our planet now. - Victoria Collins, Kent Coast Ghosts #vss365, or "Very Short Stories" began life on Twitter as an opportunity for writers to share a short story within the Twitter character limit based on a daily word pro

"Here, Trick!" He's calling me again. Reluctantly I trot over, tongue lolling out of my snout. "Who's a good boy?!" Not me. Why do you think I'm in this stupid body now?

Very Short Stories: "Sting"

He lay on the floor, wheezing and clutching his throat. The angry hives spread further over his body, the purulent sting still fresh in his cheek. She stood over him with the lipstick-stained shirt, "You've stung me for the last time." She turned calmly, crushing the remains of the bee as she walked away. - Victoria Collins, Kent Coast Ghosts #vss365, or "Very Short Stories" began life on Twitter as an opportunity for writers to share a short story within the Twitter characte
