SHE
Clawing at the darkness, branches reached upward like outstretched fingers, grasping, wanting.
She watched.
Rustling disturbed a nearby bush. A flash of red fur disappeared into the undergrowth, desperate not to be seen.
She waited.
A warm breeze rippled her nightdress, passing shadows across the silk. The scent of coconut oil from her skin drifted on the night air.
She remembered.
The heat from his breath. The pressure as his hands closed around her throat. She tried to pull him away.
She struggled.
Her voice faltered as she tried to call out. No-one would hear her out here.
She drifted.
100 words.
That was pretty dark but a great story 🙂

Whoa…The suspense was very much evident here. It reminded me of Bunin’s writings a bit.
Nice work.
