Cacophony. Discordant wails. She hadn’t known such sounds before.
Your child wouldn’t caterwaul in this manner. That of a creature.
Was the voice right? Was this thing, not her daughter? An imposter? She only wanted the shrill screams to cease.
The voice spoke again, you know… you can make this end.
“Shhhhh…please my sweet…” her pleas fell on deaf ears.
ENOUGH.
CRACK.
The world fell away… The heavy silence fell, enveloping her in what she had so desperately craved mere moments ago. The last notes of the shrill scream fading into cold silence…
There, isn’t this better?

It Happened
Introduction Three years ago I joined Vocal to win a big prize. That never happened, but this did. What Did? As you know I have a fascination with numbers and tend to track what happens to my account via Vocal's flawed statistics. As I hit certain numbers of stories, I tend to share them with others on Vocal.
