imprisoned in darkness
the whispering is always the same
sibilant whispers
driving her insane:
“… hush my little darling
don’t you cry
mommy’s got special medicine
to put in baby’s eyes”
“… hush little baby
don’t make a peep
or mommy will give you medicine
that puts bad girls to sleep”

10/10 for chills n spills, spine definitely shivering! Best of luck in the contest!




- adroitly dark whisper here. (oh is the missing space between 'medicine' and 'to' indended? If not, there's a free heads-up).
12 old applause
