Short horror fiction, inspired by a nightmare.
Eyes of the Void
© Sanela Ramic Jurich
One October morning, some years ago, I woke up from a nightmare. As I startled awake, the image of coal-black eyes lingered in my mind. The rest of the dream eluded me, but the image of those demon eyes stayed with me along with my saying, “They’re so black. Why are they so black?” That’s all I remembered.
As the day went on, I tried to shake the dream but couldn’t. My mind kept going back to those eyes. I could still feel the fear I had felt during my nightmare.
Finally, I gave up trying to forget. I sat down at the computer and let my mind weave a story. This is the story I came up with.
Enjoy.
