Welcome to day thirteen of the A to Z Challenge! My theme is 100 word (give or take a word or two) flash fiction on 
the darker side of human nature. I hope you enjoy.
Marooned
I am marooned, stranded on an island of my own making. I shun society and now society shuns me. I am lonely, so lonely. Alone I sit, alone I cry, alone I exist. I wouldn’t call this living for I merely exist. How can it be living when all I am is constantly alone? Marooned in my mind, cocooned in my own dark emotions I fester. My body is healthy, but my mind is slowing rotting away. Piece by piece I lose myself, crawling deeper into the lonely void. There is no way out, I am too far gone.
For extended versions of the A-Z flash fiction pieces and some whole new stories too, download my book, Twisted Tales.

Hmmm. Perplexing problem. There’s probably a way out, but this person isn’t ready to see that. Yet?
There usually is a way out if you are willing to look for it. Hopefully this person will find it someday!
This sounds like the setting of the movie “Cast Away”
I didn’t think of that but yes, it sort of does
Sounds like this person suffers from dementia 🙁 X
Yes, it’s quite a sad one today x
I feel bad for this person this time.
Yes, this one is quite sad rather than a nasty person!
You get a feeling of coldness, isolation and being closed off from society. But it’s of their “own making”. I feel they’ve done something bad and are now either punishing themselves or being punished by society, perhaps being locked away in prison.
I have another A to Z blog here: That’s Purrfect
Thank you for your comment 🙂 I love reading people’s thoughts on what has happened to the person to get them to where they are now
Wow, how bleak…
Yeah, it is rather.
Realizing they have a problem is the first step to getting out of this.
Yes, I totally agree
