Ten Word Stories: A Challenge

I just read a story by Saba Haider in which she shared her 10 stories from this challenge. I hadn’t heard of it before; I’m pretty new here. The concept isn’t new to me though. I once won a contest with my four word story:

Lost church, found Jesus.

So, I can’t help but jump right in with my ten word stories. Let’s go:

  1. Before they met, he was a figment of her imagination.
  2. She heard someone in her room; heart pounding. Cat pounced.
  3. A hole in her heart. Then, her daughter found her.
  4. She feels a form swim past, then sees dorsal fin.
  5. Alone in the dark, he feels another’s hot breath close.
  6. When she closed her eyes, he disappeared. Just an illusion.
  7. She dreamed she was hungry. By morning, skin and bones.
  8. She filled the tank. No GPS. She just drove west.
  9. The girl peeked in the Christmas tree. Eyes peered back.
  10. The Little Mermaid dreaming dreams, my grandma’s legacy to me.
