Micro stories of other fears





"Mighty gentleman"
          The mighty gentleman left for this same date. The family was abandoned. And that fearsome monster, hunger, began to eat them from his own guts.

Dark night
          What we know by the sky does not exist. It is only a reflection of the light that caresses the outer layer of the planet. However, the night, with its deep and immense uncertainty, is the closest thing to the truth.

Mannequin
          She was lurking in the window. She wouldn't stop looking. She turned around several times before making a decision. She entered the store. The mannequin slowly undressed, as if wanting to possess her, and so it did. She went out in with a dress identical to the one in the mannequin. Now, with the money she didn't have, she frightened the display case of the shoes.

4th mistake
          Her fourth mistake was named Matthew and he loved him very much.

Roller coaster
          Fear ate her when he showed her the ring. She, terrified, claimed dyslexia and said no. It was the only thing that occurred to her.

Polytone
          His cell phone hasn't been ringing for years. He only vibrated as radio signals vibrate or the burning of smoke signals. Phones frightened him. It wasn't his whole life, only since the day he received the bad news.

By the many
          He went out to drink as every Friday. Her youth was reckless, it drove him away for many days, instead to her, who was his house, who let him out of her before knowing how to use a door; she was approaching the window. With her gaze on the sky she prayed to see him return.

The danger of vertigo
          Just that moment when you're going to fall and you don't fall, your imagination is terrified. What if you fall?

Exit
          Where do I go if the outside is as dangerous as the inside? He never answered me, maybe because I had him gagged.

Day after
          They arrived with a pale face. They were so languid that the pharmacist almost called an ambulance. They asked for the pill. Something had broken. Something was not well measured. Anxious, they hope it will work.

Halloween
          Yes, you don't know what it's like to work in a costume shop. Everybody hiding their faces to do misdeeds.
          Tell me, you have no idea what it's like to work with politicians.

The last new life
          She, a Nigerian woman, black, foreigner, in a land of strangers. She must have had it in her genes, years later, still without reason, she was frightened.
