Flash Fiction Challenge – Creepy Tale Around the Campfire

glowing campfire embers

This is a Flash Fiction Challenge (99 words or less) from Christine Bialczak at Stine Writing. I really don’t write fiction, ever, but this challenge gripped me in a shut-up-and-take-my-money kind of way.  Haha. Creepy and campfire is all I needed to hear.

“On my hike today I came across this creepy old abandoned cabin.”  I poked the glowing embers of our dying campfire with a stick.

“Where?”

“Down the trail along the river, at the fork, it’s the trail to the right. And, there was this old rusted out frame of a snowmobile near the cabin, I think it was an old SnoJet.”

“No kidding?”

“Yeah, it’s got to be 50 years old.”

I was startled awake several hours later, and bolted upright in my sleeping bag.

It was the unmistakable sound of a two stroke motor.

Coming closer and closer.
