Hi folks,
this is my entry for another Freewriters microfiction contest.
This time, only 240 characters were allowed (not words, characters!), and to be honest, this was harder, than I thought. I had to replace words, shorten other ones, and as I'm not a native speaker, I had to use Grammarly (great tip from ) for punctuation and other fine-tuning things, but after a couple of minutes, I had my story and my characters in order :o).
Here is my result.
The necessary Screenshot of my story.
Martha heard the door creaking before she opened her eyes and knew it was over.
As she tried to slip off the hospital bed and cover herself behind the curtain, a chilling voice uttered the last words, Martha would ever hear.
'Hello, mother!'
