Their snake eyes crawled over me .I recoiled. Their filthy minds probed into my very core, hungry maggots devouring my very essence. I flinched. Finally, they tore into my nubile body, leeching the last vestiges of consciousness from my blanched, ravaged soul.

This is my response to this week’s ultimate question at Gargleblaster #161. The challenge was to answer the ultimate question, “Is something crawling on me?” in exactly 42 words. What a coincidence ‘cos I have been fighting a skin rash for the past few days but managed to keep my itchy hands at bay while writing,lol!

🙂
:-)You are welcome-hope you win
Thanks for ur kind support….but that’s a global platform….I will need a lot of votes to win…so I don’t think I would…I am just sharing with some of my friends whom I think may read it ..that’s all.. 🙂
That’s fine-winning is just an extra perk 🙂
By the way I removed my entry, as they will own our works uploaded there…that site is not very good to play I think…I checked only when a friend told…
Oh I see 🙂
Very nice! Too bad maggots can’t wait until you’re dead. Rotting flesh makes them appear.
Thanks but here they are different kinds of maggots-the (in)human kind 😛
Literally very good.
Thank you YS:-)How have you been-I missed a lot of action-reading,writing,commenting ETAL due to ill health and real life-limping back to some kind of normalcy-I hope 😛
I wish you complete recovery soon. 🙂
Thank you my friend:-)
Intense and powerful Atreyee :). Glad to see you back, dear. Missed your words.
Thank you dear R-was down with a lot of health issues and other things-am better now and hopefully will be able to participate in a few challenges 🙂
Oh dear, hope you are feeling better now, looking forward to read your words 🙂
The rash is almost gone but other health issues need to be addressed-kal ja rahi hoon Doc ke paas-dekho kya hot hai-btw is baar tumhare post par mohar lagi hai-umeed hai ki top saat me tumhara naam bhi chamkega 🙂
Just sent an email. 🙂
Will check in ten minutes-am off to post my SE entry:-)
Yay! So glad to see you back! Now this was celebration of feelings in words. Wonderful, Atreyee! Absolutely loved it. I hope you feel better soon!
Thank you Archita-glad to note I was missed and hoping to bounce back soon:-)
Now that is what I call a bad day. Good write.
Ha!ha!Thank you Anne-your comment made my day 🙂
Shudder! very descriptive!
Thank you so much 🙂
Thank you so much 🙂
It’s lovely to see you back, Atreyee. I missed you. Your short short is chillingly well done. I have to shake those images out of my head.
Thank you Gina-so lovely to see your comment-you always manage to add a silver lining to my dark clouds 😀 Am still fighting some health issues-so much back log on catching up with reading and commenting-writing is also so slow 😛
Atreyee, the imagery here is incredible. I loved the maggot line. Karen
Aww,thanks Karen-coming from such an accomplished writer like you,I take it as a huge compliment! Btw,your’s was too funny-got my vote 🙂
I could feel your words creeping and crawling over me. Such an exquisite take on the prompt.
Thank you Renada-your high praise made my day! 🙂
From their eyes to your soul – whoa! I don’t know how you get any sleep at night, Atreyee!
Lol Kymm,I guess I don’t -no wonder I sleep half the day too 😛 Thanks a ton for making me grin 😀
I especially like “their filthy minds.” Great post!
Thank you 🙂
Wow you said a lot here in such a short amount of time. Captured the mood intensely!
Thank you so much Jen 🙂
Intense and powerful are two words I kept seeing in other comments – they perfectly describe what I thought when I read this. I don’t have a rash, but man, the urge to scratch and run away squealing is strong 🙂
Ha!ha!I know that 😉
I’m always so happy when I see your name on a grid! I’m itching through this whole thing so your words did the trick!,,
😀 Thank you Gina
Yikes! Freaky. Well written, and a little scary!
Thank you Tina 🙂
What a horrible way to go… hope you are feeling better these days…Diane
Thank you Diane :-)No,not really-had to see the DOc today but was too unwell-will mail you once i see him tomorrow.
You are not well… my best wishes for wellness soon.
Thank you Ted-wishes mean a lot-Doc is happy with the progress I am making though as I had suspected my thyroid prob has reshaped itself into Hashimoto’s disease-Doc seemed upbeat as it seems my “bubbly” personality will see me through,lol!Well,let us see what the test reports say when I see him next in July 🙂
Good God, Atreyee, you don’t pull any punches! This is the only Gargleblaster I have read… I’m not sure i want to read any more!
More laughter from me!Ted,am floored by your comment -thanks a ton but do read the other entries-they are not all this bad and I do look forward to your entry next week:-)
