Bogleech.com's 2018 Horror Write-off:

Not Not

Submitted by Monkeysky

Don't read this. Don't talk about this. Don't think about this.

In the morning, I wake up and I open my eyes and I feel myself existing in everything I feel. I am my skin, and my blood and bones and my teeth and my eyes and my lungs and my hands and feet and my tongue and my bladder and my bile.

I close my eyes, and I see the light refract through the red vessels of my eyelids. I close my eyes again and fill my skull with darkness.

I cover my ears and hear the blood pumping through my limbs and my head. I cover my ears again and fill my mind with silence.

I hold my breath, and I feel the pressure and tension in my lungs. I hold my breath again and fill my body with emptiness.

I undress, and I feel my skin against my body and the air against my skin. I undress again and nothing covers me. I undress again and I become nothing.

Nothing isn't bad. Nothing can't be hurt, and nothing can't hurt anything else.

Until the next day, when I wake up and I open my eyes and I feel myself existing in everything I feel.
