The day’s prompt: Birthdays
The birthday cake sits on the table untouched. The entire house is silent, still in the darkness.
Something moves in the shadows. Something rattles. Something else rattles. The shadow-clad being closes in on the cake until it looms over it.
Then the shadow-clad being whispers gleefully, “Happy birthday to me.”

N. WS. Jokela, more commonly known as WindySilver, is a Finnish programmer and a hobbyist artist fighting a war against procrastination on the losing side. When her free time is not taken up by things like reading, procrastination, video games, watching series or more procrastination, she mainly writes sci-fi fanfiction and original flash fiction of various genres. While she dabbles in a lot of things ranging from digital art to jewelry to plants to whatever catches her interest, writing is her persistent forte.
You should not give her yet another crazy flash fiction challenge to take part in because she simply cannot say "no" to it.
