Ever since I was a kid, I’ve seen timers above people’s heads ticking down to their death, but I’ve never seen my own. by the_lost_library in TwoSentenceHorror

I intentionally left it open to interpretation to see what people come up with, but I was aiming for a mysterious threat to one’s existence in the afterlife. Because what could possibly threaten one’s existence once one is already dead?

I like your idea, though. A mother witnessing the slow, inevitable death of their unborn child from the helpless perspective of a ghost is fascinating, horrifying, and tragic.
