I was going to post something else this week, but when I saw this short short challenge I knew I had just the piece for it! It’s 101 words long because I like to live on the edge! Let me know what you all think.
Hospital
I opened my eyes to the sight of a hospital room, the clock across my bed said 3pm but had no date.
How long have I been here? I tried to ask the attending nurse but nothing came out, my voice was not working, my limbs were not moving.
Approaching me, he hovered by the side of the bed looking into my eyes, observing me closely and uttering reassuring yet hollow words. I felt his cold hand on my shin, followed by my thigh and then my crotch. Cold sweat washed over me as he began to pull down my underwear.
Bathory’s Secret is Romina Nicolaides’s first novel in the Affliction series of books, a reexamination of the Vampire genre married with History, in a multitude of real and imaginary settings bringing to life a visceral realm unlike any other. The series offers a more existential approach to the field coupled with sensational plot twists, fascinating characters and beautiful settings.
Romina was born and raised in Cyprus by her bookworm and History enthusiast father who fascinated her with countless stories from ancient Greek mythology to its medieval patchwork of Byzantine, Venetian French and English Kings and Queens flooding her imagination with people and events from all time periods. Coupled with her fascination with the mystical and the occult she began writing stories leading to her first novel in 2013.
She lives in the United Kingdom where she continues to be inspired.
