Need

Ok got a new follower on twitter by the name of Kate Hill who is a published author. Already super stoked whenever an author follows me. What makes her extra special is she has daily writing exercises which I have been looking for. Can we say this is kismet? So here is what she sent out today as her tweet: @katehillromance Today's short fiction exercise. 100 words or less. Topic: Need

Here is what I came up with! Enjoy!

The Need is clawing to get out. It is banging on the door of my mind. Knock. Knock. Knock. Only I could hear its maniacal laughter. It was getting bold. It knew if I gave it even an inch, it would be free to wreak havoc. Knock. Knock. Knock.

The Need is like an oily residue stuck on the skin that won’t wash off, except it is on the inside, underneath the skin, like a pulsating wrongness. I stare at the skin of my arm, and I can see the tap, tap, tap beneath. It is close.
