I'll post one a day 'til Hallowe'en and maybe I'll try reading one or two online. I won a MicroHorror prize for this one so I'll start with it.
Autumn Fruit
Akimi posed naked on the banqueting table. She thought of the money as caterers arranged copious amounts of fruit over and around her.
Halloween guests arrived, witches, vampires, ghouls–spectacular costumes. Akimi hid her embarrassment as the fruit was consumed, exposing her. A cardinal proffered a drink “against the chill.” The amber liquid burned in her veins.
He crushed grapes over her bare breast and roved his tongue around the nipple. Powerless, she could neither move nor cry out, even when he bit deeply and tore away a mouthful of her flesh. The feast began at midnight’s first chime.
