So, it's only been a few years since my (first and) last post.
I'm sure my legion of fans will be thrilled for this latest update.
Nerine Dorman, editor of the Bloody Parchment anthology asked us to write some quick drabbles for the live event. This is what I came up with:
"It
started during a geography lesson. One of the girls started laughing.
Another joined. And another. And another. The sound soon switched from
bubbly giggling to frantic bleating; jaws locked and eyes frozen in
terror. The laughter spread to yet more girls, while the teachers looked
on, bewildered. Some of the students started trying to scream behind
their howls and hysterics. After 45 minutes, one of the teachers started
with a choking guffaw. The headmistress, completely confounded, dialed
the emergency hotline. After eight long rings, someone picked up; their
whoops and cackles sounding tinny across the phone line."
P.S. If you don't know what a drabble is, it's a short story in 100 words or less.
