Perchance to Dream | A 100 Word Story

Awake. Stay awake damn you!

I mustn’t fall asleep. If I do she’ll get me. She’s waiting. Always waiting. A smile like sunset. Eyes are ocean blue. Her dress cut so low and so high. Elevator doors open. She tried to push me out. There’s nothing out there. Only sky.

Slap! Splash! Burn my fingers on a hot iron!

Oh no! Why is she here? She’s right over there. Don’t you see her? I’m asleep. I’ve fallen asleep! Help me wake up!

Quick. Slap me awake. She walks towards me. Damn it! Stop reading this bloody story and help me!
