50 word Story Contest Week #14 - The Life of a Fly
It started faint, but soon was all I could see.
Closer and closer, I floated towards the light.
Warmth filled my chest, I felt its mercy.
But through it all, something just wasn't right.
A sullen hum,
A flash made me numb,
And the last I heard was - BZZZZZT!
Thanks for another fun challenge @literature-trail
Hope you all enjoy it!
This topic fit in with the beginning of a story I'm going to be writing, so I'm going to go ahead and write a bonus story. Disregard it for the judging, just for fun and a shameless plug!
Crossroads
Marcus felt a sudden pull on his arm, and Anthony's calls cut through the hum like a knife.
"ANT! ANT! HELP! ANT! AAANT!" The pull grew stronger, and stronger. Marcus was lifted off his feet and swallowed by the pale light.
And then the light was gone.

When I read the title, I was so excited about what you came up with. Suffice to say, I wasn't disappointed. Powerful depiction, and I really enjoyed the step by step look into it. Writing in the first-person really did wonders for this and overall you did a really great job.
Too bad your bonus story can't be counted, but I feel the qualified entry has a stronger chance. Best of luck! Keep on buzzing :D
This entry has been graded. Good luck!
Thanks. ^_^
And also thank you for taking the time to leave comments on every entry, I (and I'm sure the rest of the contestants) really appreciate the work you're doing.
You're welcome :) It has been my pleasure. This was a great batch to judge, and I'm so lucky to have been given a chance to do so.
