I shall be posting each day from 10th - 15th October so pop back here for all my spooky seasonal musings. For this introductory post I am sharing a drabble I wrote called Missing that was first published on Trembling With Fear.
MISSING
is printed in bold capitals above a grainy photo of my beloved. Her name is wrong though. That isn’t what I call her.
I tug at the top left corner. The grimy bricks cannot cling on to her. The poster and its protective sleeve come to me eagerly, and I reach inside to extract the innards. They stink of ink not flesh but I consume them anyway. Then let the unwanted plastic fall to a pavement shiny with rain. The sole of my loafer presses down, drowning it in a puddle.
The facsimile tastes bitter compared to the original.
