Amazing twist!!!! This was so real in the beginning from parties I’ve been to! I was not expecting it to me a man eating cult 😂

Mathew C. Bryant's avatar

You know what’s funny. Some said vamps. But I never put thought into “what0 the were. Man eaters sounds pretty badass though

Andrea 🌄's avatar

I thought maybe vampires too but they don’t like intestines so it definitely felt man eating cult like for me!

Mathew C. Bryant's avatar

You don’t think vamps have their own type of menudo? 😂😂😂

Andrea 🌄's avatar

At least all the vamps I ever knew were pretty averse to anything related to digestion! Maybe this crew is just doing it to make art out of it or something. Some big satanic piece made of strewn entrails to summon some ancient one.

Ooo I want to do something else on the Maneater cult now

Andrea 🌄's avatar

I was hoping you'd say that! Just write it! ,3

I feel bad for her. He probably tastes like creatine and whey

Laura B Writing in the Shadows's avatar

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

Fantastic. Great twist at the end. I enjoyed that.

Mathew C. Bryant's avatar

Appreciate the feedback Gary 🙏

Still new to the micro format, it’s definitely a challenge to pack a full story into 500 or so words

Wait. What?

Mathew C. Bryant's avatar

Did I do a twist? 👉👈

HVR's avatar

I guess?

Alma M.'s avatar

Love the twist.

Mathew C. Bryant's avatar

Thank you 🙏

Surprised so many made it to the end 😅

I came across your notes and now I am reading your work this is absolutely amazing thanks for writing this 🫶

Mathew C. Bryant's avatar

Thanks for reading 😁

My works a little all over the place as I figure this whole writing thing out.

Kovács Attila's avatar

That's a good one. Really cool.

Mathew C. Bryant's avatar

Thank you 🙏

Yooooooo I hope he enjoyed that coke and whiskey.

Crazy story. Reminds me of the opening to the Blade film. Loss of bodily control is such a fear urghhhh.

Mathew C. Bryant's avatar

Brother knows!

That was the exact scene I had in my head while writing. Love Blade

Cedric's avatar

Pretty great subversion that reminds me of the end of Maniac (1980) if you ever seen that movie. Great work!

Mathew C. Bryant's avatar

No I haven’t, but now I have to add that to my watch list. I took some inspo from Blade at the club scene… should have added blood sprinklers tbh that woulda been kinda cool 😅

Stone Wolf's avatar

If only creeps in real life met this same ending. Great writing- the mentality of the man made me physically uncomfortable.

Mathew C. Bryant's avatar

Yeah, I wanted not to make him very unlikable. Glad it worked 😂

Stone Wolf's avatar

The bicep moment almost made me gag lmao

Mathew C. Bryant's avatar

Some Jersey Shore shit 😂

Saint-Lazare's avatar

Short but damn effective, well done!

Mathew C. Bryant's avatar

Thank you, this is the second attempt at flash-horror. The first draft was a hot mess, but I’m happy with the final :)

Tim Chessher's avatar

I want to write a flash fiction for February too. I might not, but this was inspiring! Glad you wrote this. It's an interesting take on a spooky party story :)

Mathew C. Bryant's avatar

It’s been fun. A lot less stress than serials and short stories

✨️NightLure✨️'s avatar

I don't know about you, but I'm hiding! 😶‍🌫️😉

Is that an intestine in your pocket or......... I enjoyed this, I knew something was wrong when she walked up.

Mathew C. Bryant's avatar

Lmfao 🤣
