The Ladies of Horror
Picture-Prompt Writing Challenge!

Whimsey
by Nina D’Arcangela

Gossamer thread, strong as twisted cable in miniature form. It all seems so mundane, spinning string only to catch a thing to eat or lay my eggs in. Hours of work, exhaustion takes over, I must rest. Upon waking, I see the morning has worked its magic, and my beautiful pattern now sags under the weight of her dew. Small strings of pearls to choke my next meal with. I think that’ll do.

Bent Metal

Where does reality end and dreamscape begin?

Woken each night by the sounds of screams and twisting metal, Lauren must relive the panic and fear of discovering her brother’s broken body on the asphalt. But each morning, she finds it’s only a dream… One she doesn’t want to keep having.

At what point does a dream become a nightmare, and a nightmare more than a figment of her subconscious?
