This is my entry in the #fiftywords story challenge by @miniature-tiger. The current theme is "blood".
Check out @miniature-tiger's post: @miniature-tiger/fiftywords-stories-round-up-and-theme-for-weekdays-6-blood and please check out all the other 50 word stories in #fiftywords
The story below is exactly 50 words long (it is a horror story and although short, some people might find it unpleasant or upsetting: you have been warned)
She liked to bathe in the blood of children, believing it kept her young.
Newborns were best, but they had so little blood you needed five hundred little screamers just to fill the tub.
He was tasked to find them, kill them and fill the bath.
He liked his job.
...
The picture is of my bath, filters have been used.
If you are interested in the maths: average bath takes 100 litres of water. Newborn humans have 0.2 litres of blood in their bodies.
No infants or animals have been harmed in the making of this picture/story.
...
