Here’s my weekly attempt at Lillie McFerrin‘s flash fiction challenge, Five Sentence Fiction. This week, the prompt is Shadows.
Please, go read all the other entries to this week’s Five Sentence Fiction. It’s amazing what creative people can do with just five sentences.

I like that this is almost clipped and to the point, almost matter of fact. It feels right for the story, conveying the dark fear of a person who sees demons in the corners. Nicely done, Mark.
Succinctly descriptive!!!!
Something tells me those demons still exist in the corners of his mind… Very nice.
