Kim Drabble - Muse says hi

[catch22girl]

My muse said hi. Sent me this.

Nightswimming

Kim was back in the closet. She saw him lying there, his breathing uneven, and was frightened. The gun was in her hand, she felt its weight like a touchstone, and tried not to scream.

"Shoot him," a voice from nowhere, the voice of God, the voice of daddy.

A short dark haired woman stepped into the light, her clothes were blood stained and she smiled as she held Kim's hand steady. "Join us Kim, take his life."

All around, people screamed from the walls and Megan was at her side, tugging on her shirt with her little hand. "Make him pay for my Mommy's death." She said, but her eyes were too old.

Kim nodded and when she looked at the man on the ground again and when daddy said "shoot him", she held the gun in both her hands, felt the dark haired woman's hands on her shoulders, and pulled the trigger over and over.

Blood exploded out of his body, covering Kim's hands, drenching her clothing, and turning the white walls red.

The dark haired woman turned her around and smiled at her. "Good girl," she said and gently stroked Kim's hair. "Your dad will be so proud."

Her features came into focus like a bad negative.

"You liked it, didn't you Kim?" Nina asked, her eyes practically sparkling with amusement.

For the fourth night in a row, Kim awoke with her pajamas sticking to her like a second skin.

She didn't call for dad, he wasn't there.

Well, oh!

Yeah, it would be interesting if they'd show some emotional fallout from that. I can't imagine she'd just be fine.

Anyway, this was creepy! Glad the muse decided to drop by. ;)

I like emotional fallout :) Thank you, thought it was creepy too, I love writing nightmares ;)

Now if it'll only stick around for schoolwork.
