It Does Not Get Much Better Then This

This very, very short story has given me nightmares and inspired me to write a few of them down and turn them into stories.

Here it is:

Thomas Bailey Aldrich wrote this circa 1870:

“A woman is sitting alone in a house. She knows she is alone in the whole world; every other living thing is dead.

The doorbell rings.”

Awesome

Bravo Thomas, Bravo!

  1. love it. I recently sent a few stories into the “hint fiction” anthology. They have to be 25 words or less and “hint” to a larger story. I dare say this one fits the bill.

    • That sounds awesome- do you have a link for it I could post here?
