Kathy looked behind. There was a woman using a terminal on the other side of the room. Quite tall, but delicate looking. Slender arms and legs. Her thin dress seemed to hang off her bones. Easy mark.
Kathy turned back to the terminal. “Kill her.”
A shadow loomed up behind her, a slender arm bought a hammer down upon the back of Kathy’s head.
“As you ask,” said the slender woman to her terminal.
One of the first 6 horror stories I wrote for the Fears. Also published in our horror anthology, Capricorn. It would make a fab Christmas present for someone who likes horror stories. Plays jingle bell music in November. Too soon?
“Sorry to hear that,” replied Fuen. “Any idea why?”
“She said it was because of my obsession with the stock market,” grumbled Monsta. “That, and for allegedly flirting with another woman at the dinner table on an evening out.”
“Oh, Monsta,” sighed Fuen.
“It wasn’t anything major,” moaned Monsta. “We were just playing FTSE.”
Yup. Colour Collective chose another pink! Ack! I struggled this week. I like the character, but I don’t like the way this portrait turned out though. Can’t hit 6’s all the time though aye?
Did you see the collaboration this week with Anthony, Mel, Layne and myself? It was awesome. I’ll be doing a write-up Monday on how we ran the collab with a second post detailing emails I would use going forward to introduce and plan collabs. Ever thought about working with other bloggers? These posts will be for you. Keep an eye out for them! I’ll deffo be doing more collaborations in the future.
Comments
Hi there, Reader Comments and Reader Likes currently only work for WordPress.com sites. For Jetpack sites like yours, readers will need to click through to your site to comment. We’re looking at the possibility of adding this in the Reader for Jetpack sites in future, but at the moment it’s not possible.
Uuurughghghhh. After months of fighting with my install to make comments work correctly in the WordPress reader, I just found out it’s currently impossible. Daft eh? So that’s that. It may be something that’s available in future. For now, the current comment system is the best we can do.

Crouched between two skips, she heard people talking in the street outside the alleyway. She was so close to the lights of the main road.
Footsteps getting closer, she knew she’d no time left. Her mind made up, she burst out from between the bins and sprinted as fast as she could towards the street.
“Oh, my gran taught me how to throw boomerangs when I was younger,” replied Ratty.
“Nice,” said Yuffie.
“I can’t remember how to throw them anymore,” sighed Ratty.
“Nevermind,” said Yuffie. “I’m sure it will come back to you.”
This tale is one of four written for a Yuffie collaboration. Four tales by four writers about the Little Fear, Yuffie. You can check out the other three tales at the links below.
