The Grave | A 100 Word Story

#257 The Twilight Zone S3 E7 10/27/1961

“I double dog dare ya, Herb.” The rest of the patrons at the bar all drunkenly joined in. They know why I’m too scared to visit Jackals Cross. My worst enemy is buried there in a shallow grave, waiting for me.

Jackals Cross is where I spent most of my childhood before the great fire burned it to the ground and I had to start doing grown up things. Now I work all day and drink all night to forget that place ever existed.

But they’re making me go back there. To the grave. To the place where I’m buried.
