After having heard strange noises,
seen and felt entities
that were not of this world,
Lana decided to put up obstacles
to keep them away.
She hung sheets and blankets
from the ceiling at odd angles
to create a maze.
This seemed to keep them at bay,
but why was she now coughing up blood?
This is a Flash Fiction Friday 55.
Or if you want yet another challenge write a Sunday 160.
Like a text message, the Sunday 160 only uses 160 characters (including spaces)
Keep on schedule - post Sunday
Let me know you have posted via a comment on my site
Visit at least one other Sunday 160 (if they exist)

How am I supposed to fall asleep tonight now? Scary! Sometimes are thoughts are the bad things we keep at bay and can become monsters if not kept at bay. Haunting imagery there. Great 55!
I'm up right HERE
So much for the Maze eh?
Your kinda Dark lately MM?
Either way you sure can write up a storm Son!
Excellent 55 My Friend.

Thanks for doing Friday 55!
You can read mine right here.
Now this is a great 55, complete with suspense and leaving you wanting more.
i agree, mm, this is dark.
I am not a cheeleader by any means.
but you can walk a sharp metaphoric line.
was this dedicated to someone, or just an inner angst? Duh, need I ask
mine is an "Early Poet" modified.
