I want to shake her and tell her to just go! And I want to kick him in the balls! Excellent writing of a horrible situation!

Spooky. this is the second read from last weeks Three Word Wednesday and the second spooky story. Maybe you “regulars” are all on the same wave length? Dunno. enjoyed it though. Maybe a group short stroy would be in the works? lol

Good luck!

Nice setup with the “what had happened while she was in the water” line. And I, too, like that you jump right into the middle of it.

I kept thinking/hoping she was dreaming.

I’m beginning to think you may be just twisted enough to write excellent sci-fi and horror

You captured her panic and loneliness. In a short piece, I love how you focus on one good scene – the aftermath – instead of spending too much time explaining the back story.

I love suspense, this was nice pia.

“Fear of conciseness”, that is one for you bio.

I’ve always been conflicted over which would be preferable: a slow apocalypse or a fast one.

I doubt Lianna is the last survivor, though. Whether she can find the others is another matter.

WRT your comment to Doug on the 19th, I had some doubts when I wrote Steal Tomorrow, since how likely was it that all my characters were so resilient? Then it occurred to me that, duh, who else is going to survive, except the resilient ones? The ones without some kind of coping ability, no matter how dysfunctional, die along with the others. Writing about dead people would make for a very dull book.

that would be the ultimate horror – to wake up completely alone

Like the conflict in the story!
