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!





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.
