The Horror

A 100 word short story about a new apartment and unforeseen revulsion

 

Not in the shiny color apartment ad anywhere did I see a note about neighbors. My new home. Undiscovered then to me. The anticipation is palpable. That night in the elevator I rode with obscenely tanned balding men, rolls of belly fat, streaming glittering cologne saturated sweat, wearing gold sequined thongs. I puke internally, shielding my shrieking eyes. I’m sardined inside the steamy elevator. Sweaty. Hairy. Backs. A taste of baby oil hung in my nostrils like an oily cloud. I’m in a pod of bronzed saggy flat butts. Unwittingly, I now live in a retirement nudist colony. My new neighbors.

I found this really amusing. At first i was expecting something about him killing you, then it ended up with nudity. I love it!

Thank you for reading my work. I decided some horrors lurk in anyone. Everyone. My unfortunate apartment dweller could not plan for this visual menace. I'm glad you like this visually queasy life lesson. Check out your neighbors before you move in. I appreciate you read, and your review.

Take in the scent, the view and the elevator's closeness and horror falls into reality. No joke. This was an idea emerging from a female friend. I enhanced the details significantly ensuring an oily sickening feeling imagining the sardine style ride.
