Story: Birth

The other day fellow blogger NandiniDeka posted a challenge: Write a short story in 100 words or less.

Here's my go.

Birth

I’d always suspected that the baby wasn’t really mine.

Now I know I was right. I know I couldn't possibly be the father.  

Because when the time came, and my wife began screaming, it wasn‘t because of labour pains.

It was because the baby was chewing its way out.

    Now that is gruesome. Could be the sequel to Rosemary's Baby.

    Like it, Big D (the story Not the baby LOL!). Great flash fiction horror because it gave me the creeps. Had visions of Rosemary’s Baby! Nice job!
