The boy walked home, an unmistakable skip in his step for anyone who cared to look. Filled with thoughts of the girl, sky-blue dress trimmed with orange stars still fresh in his mind. A flower, an acceptance, and a blushing smile — a permanent addition to his growing collection of happy memories that he knew was to come.

Then, the tentacles emerged from the cave. I spread my arms, clutching the Necronomicon in my right hand, waiting to receive the loving embrace of the eldritch.

Care drenched away from the man on the boat. The water moved and rumbled, the sea undulating.
A whip shot out, and the man pulled.
"Big catch today, hey...what are those?"

Her safety sank as she gazed in the mirror. Cold love smudged with the morning ritual. She saw herself, clean shaven, in a suit, and a black grin. He was ready again.

Good

Mm liked the ending. Beginning descriptions are lacking a bit

The man cried as two guards held him down, their hands firmly on his shoulders.
"Take him away, his fate is hell," said the deacon.

He ran on a lark.

The tiles were cold, I could feel them through my soles. This was the point of least resistance in the structure of my preservation. This is where it held its breath every night I've been alive. The jaws that opened when I came to be are about close.
