After Red Face
Haiku from a Story
Clown in bathroom stall,
Searches arm in the blue-light,
Cannot find a vein.

(This is inspired by a plot point in my short horror story 'Red Face'. I like the idea of taking an inciting incident or twist and trying to distil it for this challenge. CD)

Welcome to my new series, a weekly blog on what’s inspiring me. I spent much of last week in bed with a stomach bug. I’ll spare you the details of that—but in addition to the grotesque physical symptoms, I had some fever dreams I won’t soon forget. Imagine my surprise to see Vocal’s newest challenge: Write a fiction story about a recurring dream or nightmare.
