ZOMBIE EYES - 100 word story

It's Halloween. Of course I had to write a Halloween story and this week's Friday Fictioneer's photo prompt was perfect for that.

ZOMBIE EYES

My cousin always gave me the creeps.

When she visited on Halloween, I wasn't happy.

Angie had arrived dressed like a zombie. The clothes were superfluous, she already had zombie eyes.

'You and Angie can go trick or treating,' said Mum.

We went knocking on doors.

Old Freddy shouted and sent us on our way, as I knew he would.

Angie didn't like that. Once home she sat and stared at Dad's chess set and I swear a piece moved.

We heard later that Old Freddy had died.

They said, from the look on his face he died of fright.

I hope you enjoyed this story and I look forward to your comments.

HOW TO SPEND A FORTUNE - 100 word story

After a bit of vagabonding, I'm ready for some more fiction writing. This week's Friday Fictioneer's photo prompt, prompted this story.

HOW TO SPEND A FORTUNE

When Edith won the lottery she was catatonic. The amount was so ridiculous she couldn't comprehend it and sat in her flat in a daze. Her little wrinkly eyes stared at nothing. She barely ate and her already tiny wizened body turned bony. Anyone who saw her was reminded of one of those hairless Sphynx cats.

She ignored the telephone and doorbell: she knew it was her greedy children.

A year later something in Edith clicked.

Five years after that Edith stood under the domed ceiling and sighed, satisfied that she'd spent her money wisely.

Her children thought otherwise.

I hope you enjoyed this story and I look forward to your comments.
