A Dark Cloud Awaits Me

wordymouth (61)in #zapfic • 5 years ago

I rarely enter contests but this one fits well with my very short stories and I couldn't resist the 50th prompt for the ZapFic Writing Contest by @felt.buzz. The goal is to write a story using only 240 characters or less following a prompt.

This is for week 50 and the prompt is pest:

I see the tavern, warm and welcoming, and tether my horse in the stable. Eager for a pint, the fire crackles in an empty bar. I reach behind and pour a frothy glass. Then I see the blood, the bodies, and him, a black cloud of flies, hovering silently before the pest spreads to me.
