Monday Microfiction: "Saved"

This week's microfiction is a 100-word story about "helping" someone seen as a monster.

This story is also part of my religious horror collection, Divine Dread, available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.

Saved

My captor’s grip remains firm as iron as I try to wrestle away. The ginger-bearded man injects me with a syringe before I can bite. His poison ignites my blood, deliquescing and coursing through veins. A painful pounding reverberates in my chest. My cool skin turns hot and pink—the night grows darker in my eyes—the transformation is complete.

I sob tears of water, not blood, from the pain and humiliation and look up at the dawnwalker.

“Why? I had a family. A love. All that is lost to me now.”

“Praise God. Another soul saved from the night.”
