Flash Fiction - A Short Story


I’m running for my life. My legs are damp and aching from the freezing river water. The voices are there, taunting me. I can't get away!
"Stay with us.... Stay with ussssss..........". The chanting is getting unbearable now.... I should stop. Air scorches my throat. But I mustn’t stop. I can’t let them get me....
I woke with a start.

"We thought for a moment we had lost you, Alice. We were so worried!" The voice of my mother rang in my ears. I opened my eyes, slowly. But it was not her face that looked deep into my eyes.
