No second chances sn2022 non-writer

Destitute, alone and full of smack, Reggie sliced his arm down hard then across. Blood, so much blood. He felt a warmth overcome his body. The warmth felt like a hug from his daughter. The daughter he “murdered” high when he t-boned that car.

Bloody and full of regret, Reggie could feel his daughter. He touched her skin. She Cradled Reggie and spoke. “A fleeting life wasted was no life at all but I accept your apology.”

Her mouth unhinged like a snake and sucked his soul clear out of his body.

There would be no salvation for Reggie today.

Thanks for your Story

Good Luck in the Contest!

Bloody hell, TheAlleghenyGentleman, this is really dark, yet profound. It is so disturbing I'll probably have nightmares tonight... the image you left me with is strong.

Mission accomplished!

I like to keep things light lol.

My first draft had him nailed to a pentagram on the floor but it ran a little long.

LOL, I'm sure you do.

Hold that thought for another story... I need a daily dose of nightmare material.

Solid characters, strong imagery, and a backstory that can go anywhere. Very inspiring!

Well deserved S&F!
