“I’m not answering any more questions!” Gilmore yelled and
the nurse shooed away the man in black. Gilmour grabbed her wrist as she
increased his medication. “I really was abducted, you know.”
“Of course you were, dear,” she soothed, “But you need to rest
now. Look at this nice fruit basket your friend brought.”
His eyes widened in terror. “Those are eggs, not fruit!” but
the drug blurred his words as she closed the door.

Thanks once again to Rochelle at
http://rochellewisofffields.wordpress.com/ for the disgusting photo that prompted this week's story. No doubt other Friday Fiction writers have written equally nasty stories which you will find by following the link

Thanks, Marion - I don't usually do horror!
DeleteThe men in black should have stayed back. Horribly good :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Subroto.
DeleteFabulous, really enjoyed reading it. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy first commenter - on Facebook - is still squirming!
DeleteTerrible stuff, that diamorphine. :)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't know, Robert - I live a blameless, drug-free life!
DeleteI was horrified to begin with by the picture. Mermerised in a car crash kind of way. 'Orrible!
ReplyDeleteAny story is hard to write in 100 words. This works. I like the notion that the men in black, government protectors of alien secrets, are using alien eggs to eradicate witnesses who talk too much. A bit more extreme than having Will Smith flash you with a pen light to erase your memories.
It is a really disgusting picture, isn't it? To begin with I couldn't think of a story cos I don't usually do horror, then this little slimy gem surfaced! Glad you like it, MJ.
Deletescary stuff. to be continued, i guess?
ReplyDeleteNo I don't think I'll continue with this one, plaridel!
DeleteVery graphic! I was a nurse. I've seen windows and beds like that before. Lol. I have a bad sense of humour. :-)
ReplyDeleteLily
Lily! You have a dreadful sense of humour, but then you need one to be a nurse!
DeleteDear Liz,
ReplyDeleteYikes! She should've listened to Gilmore. Quite a story. Well done.
shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle. Hope you're enjoying your holiday?
DeleteOh.. Now I feel that the men in black have a bigger problem on their hands...
ReplyDeleteAlien encounters of the fruity kind?
Deletebeware the fruit basket from the men in black.
ReplyDeleteRandy
If I've taught you that, my words haven't been wasted!
DeleteDear Lizzy, Yuck - that would be my rotten luck to get a "yes dear" nurse that wouldn't listen to what I was saying. You really did good on this one Liz - really good! Have a good week! Oh yes, your pictures of your vacation are fantastic - lucky you! Nan :)
ReplyDeleteIn my experience many nurses are like that - the exceptions are treasures!
DeleteI believe he was abducted - Gilmore has been replaced with Gilmour.
ReplyDeleteAs long as someone believes, the Men in Black will have a job!
DeleteScrumptious! And a gorgeous photo, too.
ReplyDeleteHeehee! Thanks for that, scratch!
DeleteEugh! I knew fruit was bad for you!!
ReplyDeleteHave I put you off your five a day?
DeleteOh yuk! Brilliant :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ros - soemtimes I scare myself!
DeleteOoooh, great short story!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it sandra.
DeleteLizy!!!! Shame on you. This made me draw back and say, "Eeuuwww, yucko!" Well done, dear.
ReplyDeleteGlad my rare venture into horror had the desired effect, Alicia!
Delete"Gnawed bones lying in a pool of slime" --- that's not going to leave me for a good while. Nice use of horror!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Perry - it's different when you write it, isn't it? I would never read this kind of thing in a month of Sundays!
