Confinement

Horror Contest Entry

My swollen eyes open in slits to more darkness.  Confusion sets in as my weak arms fumble outward into emptiness.

Panic starts to rise as I feel the wooden planks of my confinement, and slam my body outward in all directions.

My guts twist in despair as two familiar piercing eyes appear from a slot carved above.  The greedily devouring eyes savor the distress I emote, as I realize I'm never going home.

Best short horror work so far.

Thank you so much!

This is pretty darn good, and reminded me of Poe. Besides that, you write very well and I find no errors. Here's hoping you did/will do outstanding in the contest.

Thanks so much for the kinds words! I was trying something out of my wheelhouse and hope that I can expand on it. :)

It's a great opening for a longer work, methinks.
