Death by Fire [CT2020]

It had been dark, but now there was the glow of campfire beside me. I could feel the warmth as it cooked the salty moisture from the sea breeze.

Suddenly, I was lifted into the air; my body squeezed by a force that seemed determined to reshape my body into some foreign configuration. Before I could react, there came a lightening bolt of pain as a wooden stake was rammed through my midsection, taking part of my guts with its tip. My skin crisping as I was held in the flames was my last moment.

I had loved being a marshmallow.

The End

Cute I didn’t see that coming

I love a story with a hook! Well done!

Thanks! The last time you commented on one of my short stories it was for the same thing, the hook at the end. At least I'm consistent!
