100 Word Wednesday: You Find A Box in the Attic That Isn't Yours...

The Box
 
Emma climbed into bed, her husband's back was already turned. Just like always, they were going to bed mad.

Please let him know what it's like to have your heart ripped out.

Finally, she slept and dreamed of a plain wooden box in their attic. A box that didn't belong to her. It thumped and danced across the floor so loudly it woke her with a start.

Just a dream.

The red lights on the clock next to her bed said 2:38. So early.

She rolled on her back and was greeted with a small little imp at the foot of her bed. A grin crossed his lips as he picked red muscle from his razor sharp teeth.

Emma screamed and rolled her husband over to help but found his eyes hollow and a wide hole in his chest where his heart had been.

It had been ripped out.

"Anything else?" The imp asked mischievously.

She paused. "Now that you mention it..."

  7. Probably busting up laughing was not the appropriate response to this story, but I just loved it so much! I love that she's like, "Hey, now I've got an imp to do my evil bidding!" I mean, who doesn't want that? I'd love to see where this duo goes... I'm guessing it's some pretty scary places. Love it! ^_^
