Bot Flies
by Lynne Phillips
Zacji didn’t feel the bites, but as his body heated, his arm began to itch. Hundreds of tiny larvae wriggled in waves under his skin emerging through his pores, their heads taking a breath before disappearing and wriggling again. They moved like rivulets along his arm towards his shoulder.
Using the edge of his knife he frantically scraped his arm, removing his skin and the larvae, seeking relief.
Realising they had moved across his shoulders and down his left arm, squirming towards his wrist, emerging as bot flies, Zacji screamed in agony and collapsed, unable to bear the paralysing pain.

Miss Scarlet Hood
by Lynne Phillips
Miss Scarlet Hood met a bad wolf in the wood.
“Where are you going dressed all in red?”
She pulled a pistol and shot him dead.
A witch appeared. “I’ll cast a spell.”
Miss Scarlet pushed her down a well.
An ogre grabbed at her red cloak.
A knife appeared at his fat throat.
“Got you Missy,” a goblin said with a laugh.
She kicked him howling down the path.
“Don’t tell me tales,” her mother said,
And sent Miss Scarlet straight to bed.
“Tomorrow, I’ll find a dragon that flies,
And Mother will know I don’t tell a lies.”
