Flash Fiction Friday

A quick spin of the Random Word Generator this week gives us:

• seaside
• passport
• neck
• north
• beast

And here’s my 100-word story based on those words:

I encountered Beast Haven while vacationing in North Wales. The name intrigued me, so armed with my passport and seasick pills I took the ferry to the small island not knowing what to expect. Some kind of wildlife preserve? A large animal shelter?

On account of this, I paid no heed to the howling that first night.

And didn’t think much of the scratching at the windows the second night.

Fear set in when I found bite marks on my neck while shaving the following morning.

The third night was a full moon.

That’s when I knew I was staying.

Have a great weekend!
