Whispers

by Christopher Ruz

Have you ever woken in the middle of the night and thought that your bedroom was a little smaller than when you went to sleep? That the air tasted different? That you house was just that little bit darker? You ever hold someone and know they weren't the person you held yesterday? It's true, all of it.I hear whispers, sometimes. Bits of another world breaking through. You think these walls will protect you?None of us are safe. And what I did... I had to do it. You believe me, don't you?- - -Whispers is a short piece of claustrophobic horror in the style of King and Philip K Dick. 1700 words.
