The Ladies of Horror
Picture-Prompt Writing Challenge!

Written in Blood
by A.F. Stewart

Thousands of words bound in leather, ink stained scribbles transcribing our pain. He collects them, as he collects us. “Life is transitory,” he says, “I want your existence down on paper for eternity.” So he can relive our torment when we die.

But it is peaceful here, in his wicked library, a brief respite from the horror of our lives. He doesn’t know I come here; I never sneak away when he is home. Here, I read of the others before me, before us, volumes of their thoughts, the methods of their end. I have learned much, among the books.

Including the way to kill him…
