Bogleech.com's 2013 Horror Write-off:

" Brood "

Submitted by Raven

I woke up with a massive headache. I checked the mirror. It was beginning. To hide myself, I put on dark sunglasses. I walked outside to let it happen.

I dashed into the oncoming traffic. The cars screeched to a halt, but I didn't care if they hit me. I just needed to fulfill my purpose.

I grabbed my sunglasses and flung them to the pavement. My right eye was darting madly, to and fro, left and right, but my left eye was what drew their attention. My left eye extended far out of its socket, and pulsed red and green. It was glorious.

The movements of my eye drew their attention. I stood still calmly as they went to work. In a mob, they tore into my face. With one sharp bite, my eye was severed. No matter. It will grow back. My face was torn to shreds, but it too would grow back.

A smile formed on my ruined lips. My beautiful children have a big job ahead of them.
