Mini Short Stories: 2020 Volume 1

Wild

I was finally crossing a Carnival fete off my teenage bucket list. I and my older cousins were already inside the all-inclusive party WILD going crazy. It was a chaotic splendour of soca music, bright lights, food, drink and so many beautiful girls that I wasn't sure where to look. I knew this would be a memorable boy's trip. Unfortunately, my words proved more true than expected.

I had left the nearest bar when I saw her and fell under her spell. She was a goddess. Brown eyes, brown skin and dark hair. Her tight and short romper looked like a costume with shiny green and gold beads over green leather. With her mesmerising dancing, she looked like a beautiful snake. I forgot about the boys. I followed her instead with my arms around her as we danced, drank and laughed together. I felt that I needed to keep watching her move. 

WILD was held on a country estate surrounded by nature. I am not sure when we left the party and entered the forest. She said that exploring it in the moonlight would be fun. She seemed to glow as we walked faster and faster through the forest. The moonlight was scattered, but wherever she walked through it I swore she glowed a bit more. Her long, curly hair was floating behind her and her laughter was high and bright. I wondered why she was laughing, but I began to laugh too.

We ran for what felt like hours without stopping. I could do nothing except follow, laugh until I cried and run blindly. She'd held my hand until we stopped abruptly at the banks of a river. It was a wide and smooth looking river, but noisy the way water is. 
"Beautiful, isn't she?" asked my companion smiling. Here in the clearing she no longer seemed warm from our exertion, but frozen in the moonlight. She looked venomous. I wanted to leave but my tired legs kept following her slowly as she headed toward the river. I was frightened. This was no longer fun as I kept following her into the rushing water.

"It always have plenty man like you to add to my collection. All so strong and energetic. You feed us well." She turned around smiling to watch me take my last few steps. She was controlling my thoughts now. There was no remorse or longing. There was just the phenomenal power of her presence and the cold water closing over my face as the river took me into her terrible care.

This story wrote itself.

Writing these stories are always a challenge because of the tiny word limit. What I wanted to write wouldn't fit, but I am pleased enough with yhis scene to expand it.
