Nightmare Series

The Nightmare Series is series of flash-fiction pieces meant to explore and challenge how we view universal fear by tapping into singular and personal fears. Understanding the broader themes of what scares or motivates us by accessing those macabre, visceral, uneasy parts of ourselves. Each piece is meant to evoke and emulate the atmosphere of a nightmare, and they are written in second-person present not only to appeal to the universal aspect of a nightmare, but to echo the immersive and, at times, inescapable quality of dreams. The pieces are standalone, unconnected to one another in plot or timeline, and range from 200-500 words.
