Flash Fiction Friday 55 - "In a Ditch"

"Help", she cried, in a whisper.
It was no use to waste any energy.
Night was falling fast and no one would see her now in this musty, leafy ditch.

She tried to move her legs,
but the lack of circulation made it impossible.
Luckily, she could lift up her head and move her fingers.

If you have your own 55 get out of the ditch and go tell the G-Man at Mr. Know-It-All.

Ahh, if you can move your fingers, that's a good sign.

Gruesome tho, and sad. I hope I never end up like that.

This brings to mind some of the horrible stories I read recently in a book about serial killers.
(Shudder!)




WORD VERIFICATION: polse

DEFINITION: the rhythmic beat one feels when holding onto a subway car handle.
