Micro/ Flash Fiction Theme: Looking into the Void
I was getting ready for bed and had turned out the lights. As my eyes adjusted to the dark, I noticed a shadowy shape next to my head. Hoping it was a trick of the light, I stared at the blurry, void-like shape— it didn’t disappear. Hesitantly, I reached out my hand and felt something solid. My blood ran cold until I realized it was warm fur. Then two yellow eyes looked back at me. It mewed. I was relieved it was my black cat, Artemis. True to her name, her ability to hunt for cuddles at night is unmatched.
