The Ghost Train
Jenny licked her lolly, looking on with interest as the fast, spinning rides with flashing lights enticed the punters. Screams of fear pierced the air. Babies, the lot of them, she scoffed.
Camille grabbed her hand, ‘Come on, let’s go on the ghost train.’
In complete darkness, the safety bar pressed uncomfortably against their bellies. The train set off, slowly at first. Eerie sounds spooked them, smoke blinded them, ghouls leapt out from every direction. Drip, drip onto their clothes, blood. They screamed and sobbed, this was too real. As they re-entered the daylight they laughed, hysterically. Melting ice lollies.
Hope you enjoyed this piece of flash fiction

Glad it was just the ice lollies. I feared something worse.

ReplyDeleteWell done You've set us up for a terrifying ending and then dripped ice lollies on us.😊
ReplyDeleteLook what you've done. Now I feel like having an ice lolly :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! You can't beat a bleeding ice lolly.
ReplyDeleteMOst of the fun is the fear :)
ReplyDeleteThat ghost train sounded pretty scary to me, I'm sure I would have screamed too!
ReplyDeleteThat was my sister! Nothing could scare her quite as much as she to herself!
