31 Days Of Flash Fiction - Day 11

Happy Friday everyone!

The Corner

“Your wife’s standing in the corner.”

The doctor started and glanced at the empty corner of the room that Edwards nodded at.

“Now you know that’s impossible, right, Mr. Edwards? We can both see that the corner’s empty.”

Edwards shrugged, the straightjacket creaking with the effort. “Just because you can’t see her doesn’t mean I can’t.”

The doctor smiled, taking off his glasses to clean them. “Okay, Mr. Edwards, what’s she wearing this evening.”

“A blue dress with a white flower pinned on it. And there’s a golden chain around her neck with a heart at the end engraved with her initials.”

The doctor’s eyes bulged and his mouth slowly dropped open, his voice a whisper. “H-h-how do you know that? My wife’s been dead for five years.”

Edwards leaned closer, smiling. “Yeah, and she’s really angry that you made her that way.”
