I was taking a dump when god spoke to me.
The sky tore open and a spear thudded onto the ground.
He ordered me to sacrifice my father to him.
It was the same god who ordered me to slaughter my sister… the same god who provided the spoon that I buried into her soft skull.
I was born and raised in this hellhole… old enough to know that god is everywhere.
God sees everything.
There’s nowhere to run… or hide.
God said something about ratings going up.
And that only one of us will get off this island alive.
Hi FF family. I’m soooo late, I know! 🙂 But I promise to read a few stories over the weekend. BRB xo

Dear K.Z.
He works in mysterious ways his ratings to increase. A well told tale or reality terror.
Aloha,

Dear K.Z.
I knew there was a reason I never watch Survivor. You may have hit a new height in low. 😉 You had me flushed at the first line. Well done.
Shalom,

Reality TV horrors! Only slightly more horrible than actual reality TV …which kills millions of innocent brain cells each week !!!
Coming to channel 4 soon 🙂
😮
Hahahahaha! That last line got me. As a guy who works in TV, that was a good one. It gets brutal no matter what end of the production/executive spectrum you’re on.
Five TV screens!
It won’t be long before reality TV will be exactly like this – anything to keep the ratings up!
isn’t it already?
‘Psycho’ rewritten.
🙂
Horrifically disturbing! Fully delivered!
Great first line! The second one has a funny rhythm to it considering the first. ‘thudded onto the ground’ hehe

You did it again KZ. What a talent that you have.
Truly, truly disturbing. Well done.
Interesting bit of social commentary, darling.
Taking a dump will never be the same again. And how do you kill a person with a spoon?
This seems to be part spoof part horror this week, or maybe I just see the funny side in everything.
lol, loved it 🙂
Very graphic! I see the whole picture.
Lots going on re modern life, and none of it good (except of course the writing!)
Dear KZ – Not a benevolent God? Wow – Good job and I love it! KZ, you have an amazing imagination! Thanks – I’m glad I get to read your stories! Nan 🙂
You went for it there! Almost casually, but ‘conversations with god’ is an interesting theme to play with..
K.Z., I think her survivor instincts have caused her to create her own god. I don’t watch much TV these days. Well written. 🙂 —Susan
Disturbed during a dump? Is nothing sacred these days? I like the idea of the reality show though.
Ouch..yes that’s why I always hide from people coming out of the rest-room…
Who will survive?
With this one you have set a new par for yourself! 🙂
Your ideas, your creativity amazes me everytime!
Chilling, K.Z. I’ve known far too many people in the real world who actually think the voices they hear are those of deity. You tell a stark tale with just enough foreshadowing to lead the reader to the tragic conclusion.
All my best,
