Sweet Dreams Jimmy
By Terry Wilding
Sweet Dreams, Jimmy by Terry Wilding is a darkly poignant horror tale about a dying man who makes a final online wish — and gets more than he bargained for. When terminally ill Jimmy Hopeburn discovers a mysterious website offering to grant his “ideal ending,” he dismisses it as a scam. But when a beautiful, otherworldly woman arrives at his bedside, promising a peaceful death, Jimmy learns that the internet’s reach extends even into the afterlife. Equal parts tragic and chilling, Sweet Dreams, Jimmy is a modern fable about mortality, temptation, and the price of getting exactly what you ask for.
This is a 1627-word short story.
