Welcome to day twenty-three 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.
Whisper
I hear the whispers. They make me do things, things I don’t want to do. I keep thinking if I just do this one more thing, they will go away. They will let me get some peace, some rest. A moment where my head and my thoughts are my own. There is no escape, no respite. They are there when I fall fitfully asleep, they haunt my dreams, and they are there when I awake, exhausted. They plant seeds of doubt then offer solutions, solutions that never work, no matter how hard I try, how much I want them to.
For extended versions of the A-Z flash fiction pieces and some whole new stories too, download my book, Twisted Tales.
Let me know what you think in the comments 🙂

I’m glad any whispers I hear are just my character bugging me to write. =)
Those are the kind of whispers that are welcome 🙂
I wonder if they can whisper back and tell those whispers to give it a rest.
That would be good wouldn’t it!
That was rather chilling!!! Most of the whispers I hear are my characters vying for attention!

Thank you 🙂 yes, I think a lot of us hear those!
Glad this does not happen to me in real life! Good writing! Angela x
Yes, me too! Thank you 🙂 x
What a great idea with the Whispers! The concept is brilliant. A very succinct and original way to get new ideas and thoughts across. Love the thoughts!
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it 🙂
Those whispers! They tell me to go have cookies. Or cake. I have to really get firm with them. What an interesting topic for the challenge! I love how you are limiting to 100 words. That is truly a challenge, indeed. Melissa
I think you should listen to them lol 🙂 Thank you, it has been challenging, but I’ve really enjoyed it!
Chocolate and wine whisper to me….I’m here….so lonely….just eat me….
But to be whispered at all the time by creepy voices would be awful!
If it was chocolate and wine, I wouldn’t mind 🙂 Anything else, no thank you lol
Great little spooky flash! Thanks for stopping by GirlZombieAuthors. (Thanks for your interest, though I never thought of characterizing my upcoming Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter book as fan fiction since it was written more as a mystery-horror novel…) Keep in touch for details!
Thank you 🙂 I didn’t mean that in an offensive way, it just reminded of a book I read before. It was about Myra Hindley but it totally humanised her and it read like fan fiction. I would love to check your book out, I love horror books 🙂
My whispers always lead me to gin and chocolate….
If that gin was vodka I’d be right there with you lol 🙂
I hate how much this sounds like a writer’s inner life 😀 Seriously, great flash here, Debbie. Loved it.
Thank you 🙂 And yes, it kind of does sound like a writer!
Time to hit the hospital. Sounds like schizophrenia. Need to make those voices go away.
Yes, this person definitely needs some medical help before it goes too far!
I knew it’s a good story from the neame alone, whipers of sleep and chips annoy me all the time. I need help :p
Haha, by that measure I think I do too!
Like the others my whispers are cravings for yummi stuff haha. Xo
Lol, those are the best kind!
