#6 - Clockwork
I awoke to darkness, total and absolute. Out in the countryside, it was so much darker than the city, and I lay for a minute waiting for my eyes to adjust. It was like being in a black velvet bag, and I rolled onto my side and reached out for Michael.
My fingers found only bedsheets, and a faint warmth where he had been not long ago. I listened, and then I heard a distant creak...
Clockwork is a short standalone horror story recorded for Halloween 2014. Like all good horror, the less said about it the better! Best enjoyed with headphones. Trigger warnings: Claustrophobia, suspense, the creeping dread that we are not alone.
I would love to collaborate with you! If you have short fiction that you would like me to include as a standalone episode of Pocket Fiction, drop me a line!
This episode is also available as a video on YouTube, and on the iTunes store!
Thanks for watching/listening! Ideas? Suggestions? Things you would like me to read? Please comment and subscribe!
