Title: Vampire
Characters: Vincent
Team: TURKS
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Prompt: Nightmare

"I’m not a vampire," Vincent thought to himself. It wasn’t the first time he’d been called that. Strangers, like the two at the table behind him, often made assumptions about his appearance.

Vincent stood up from the bar and approached them. Their expressions were filled with surprise and guilt.

"You are mistaken," he said, then he turned back to reclaim his seat at the bar.

Suddenly, he saw something that made his mind and heart race with fear. In the mirror behind the bar, he cast no reflection. He covered his mouth with his hand to muffle his inevitable scream.

Prompt #71

I have nothing witty to say, so I will just state that SOLDIER won last round with 40 points.

This week's prompt is #71 - Nightmare

We all have them occasionally - the scary nightmares that wake you up in the middle of the night.  Some appear because we are remembering something awful from the past, others appear to have no rhyme or reason.  Some people wake violently, some cry afterword, some just shake their head and go back to sleep. Then there are the nightmares that are show their ugly faces when you haven't even been to sleep!

Whether it is Cloud dreaming of Zack; Genesis dreaming of of Loveless being ripped to shreds; Hojo providing the nightmares free of charge; or Sephiroth walking into the flames of Nibelheim  - you must write a nightmare in just 100 words.



Mod note: And yesterday, in a feat of fail, I posted this not to the community but to my personal journal. I'll get with the program soon, I promise.
