I’m writing a flash fiction story every day till Halloween based on the top selling Halloween costumes for 2016.
10.22 – Pokémon
STALKER
Pray for me, mother.
I promised mother. Promised myself. I wanted to stop. But the voice. It whispers.
Without planning, I find myself back here. Why don’t they know I’ll come?
Three exit the train. My eyes lock on one. She walks beneath the lone streetlight, but it gives way.
My heart doesn’t race anymore. That thrill ended long ago. But the voice returns. Tonight, Halloween, it roars like a lion.
She turns the corner, a whisker from me. Not the first time I stalk her to her silver Corolla.
But it’s the last.
Sorry, mother.
Prey for me.
Okay, you’re totally creeping me out.
Seriously – this one is superb, and the picture to go along with it? Thank you for the nightmares.

That’s not my most flattering picture, I will admit. But for someone who doesn’t have a good side, you have to go with whatever works.

You mean that picture of me? Yeah, I hear that a lot. Even when it’s nowhere near Halloween. What’s a guy with no fashion sense to do?
