Mission

I'm trying to write a short piece of flash fiction everyday from whatever pops into my head at the time. It'll mainly be rambling unsubtle crap but hey, at least its something right?

Fear

Fear was the last of those things held to the chest. It is closed close, slowly infiltrating through exposed pores and rooting itself beneath the surface, twisting vines stretch to their limit, wrapping round and round nerve clusters as they slither on tendrils towards the spine.

Fear can seize everything, it can control and run away with a body lost to the mind itself. Now we see the new universe, but the fear still holds on tight, not budging an inch. The universe calls me over and asks for my phone number but I have left it buried under layers of constant pulsating flesh. It was dark then, the universe looking at me expectantly and I don’t know what to do

I walk backwards as the universe reaches out to hold me there, moulding into the crowd and leaving a disappointed existence behind. Let’s head of, just me and my fear, off into the wilderness beyond the edge of space, head off and find new country to call our own.
