Friday Flash: White

White

First one pale white hand, and then another, clawed it’s way up through the fresh pile of earth. A rat scurried off the mound as the ground erupted, dirt flying in all directions.  Soon the hole was wide enough for the bride to emerge, using grimy fingers to pull herself out.  She adjusted her veil and vainly sought to put her dress in order.

“Well,” she told her lover wryly, “I guess that’s what I get for wearing white.”

The end

***This week our home schedule has been completely turned upside down. Also, I NEED to start prepping for Nanowrimo next month! Until I get more organized (which will probably take a couple weeks), my #fridayflash stories will probably be either nonexistent or very short. So, I hope you like my very short #fridayflash story. :)

    I’m predicting a quiet/low word count November from all us NaNoWriMo flashers :-) unless we upload our WIPs.

    I like short pieces (maybe because I’m short). This was cool. I particularly liked the fact that the picture of the red rose was above it. My mind immediately went to a white rose coming up through the ground. Wrong!

    Cute :D

    If there’s one thing I like, it’s a witty zombie bride!

    Awesome! Zombies are always funny, or at least they should be. I hope to continue posting through NaNo, but we’ll see how it goes.

    Wow, I don’t even want to know who/what her lover is! Okay, maybe I do. ;)
