(100-word flash fiction)
He woke up to a feeling of being touched. There was
moonlight splayed everywhere, on the floor, furniture, bed and glowing pale on
his feet. As he watched, it began to creep up his legs, slowly and imperceptibly.
As though the moonlight was a sensuous lover caressing him softly, seductively.
It was when it began to spread up his body that he broke
into a cold sweat. Then, as his consciousness began to fade, it occurred to him
that the moon had been falling not rising and that thing outside that was
shining on his face was not the moon.
