Noodled Nuthouse

by Khendoll It was a normal day in the Walnuthouse Unsanitorium. An innocent looking girl named Maisy was rocking back and forth in her chair, an apple juice straw hanging from her lip. Her dark eyes stared unblinkingly forward and brought chills to anybody who walked into the room.

That must’ve been what made her so attractive to him…

The sound of crunching noodles rang through the room, but Maisy did not seem bothered. She figured it was just her roommate Janice microwaving her toenails again. Oh, how wrong she was. The crunching grew louder as the creature craned his neck to get a better look at her. Maisy began to sweat as a horrific, decrepit face crawled into her line of sight. It was followed by a dry, snarled looking line of bones that lightly resembled a noodle. Suddenly, the face jerked and its empty eye sockets turned its stare directly into her soul. Maisy screamed, threw her apple juice across the room, and toppled backwards in her chair.

“MY NOODLES ARE WANT REVENGE!” She yelled as she backed into a wall. The noodle creeped towards her, its neck dangling with every step. Maisy closed her eyes as its face moved so close to hers that she could smell his rotting breath…

And then the door burst open. “Get her into a jacket. She’s having ramen nightmares again.” Maisy opened her eyes. The noodle creature was gone.

The only thing that remained of him was a single ravioli on the ground.
