"Mommy Makes Dinner"
Katie came home from school, the delicious aroma from the kitchen greeting her.
“Mom?”
An eerie voice reverberated through the hallway. Her mother was singing some strange, fragmented lullaby…
The door creaked open.
“Shhh…” Katie’s mother warned. “You’ll wake the baby.”
Part of the blanket fell away to reveal raw turkey cradled in her mother’s arms.
She held it to her breast, lovingly patting its wet pimpled flesh.
“W-Where’s the baby?” Katie quavered.
Her mother’s face split into a demented grin.
“Dinner will be ready soon.”
Slowly, numbly, Katie walked towards the kitchen.
Something hissed and sputtered in the oven.

Hi! I'm KZ Morano, a horror author. If you're a fan of the genre, I hope you enjoy my posts. :) I'll be sharing some stories from my book. It's called 100 Nightmares and it's currently available through Amazon.
100 Nightmares is a collection of 100 horror stories, each written in exactly 100 words, and accompanied by over 50 illustrations. Inside, you’ll find monsters—both imagined and real. There are vengeful specters, characters with impaired psyches, dark fairy tales, and stories and illustrations inspired by bizarre creatures of Japanese folklore.
