Dread
She was walking down the boulevard
In an unholy hour of the night
What happened before now she couldn't tell
One thing she knew was she had to go home
She was alone
The trees that adorned the walkways stood tall
Creating shades that rather seemed uncomfortable
The streetlights were switched off
The environment seeming eerie
That wasn't a good thing
It was a cold night and she barely wore clothes
She was in bum shorts and sleeveless shirt
She had on her a muffler
Her feet protected by Jimmy Choo
Did it really matter?
She walked quite a distance before she saw her lovely abode
There was no one waiting for her, to give her warmth in the cold night
"Finally!", she said out loud
She put her keys and turned the locks
.
She had no clue
She turned on the lights of the sitting room
Goose bumps covered her arms
A chill ran down her spine
This wasn't from feeling cold
It was from fear
"How did you get in?", She asked with an effort to hide her fear
"That doesn't matter. Come, let's play", came the reply
The stench of pain came from nowhere
It filled her lungs, almost suffocating her
That would have been better
It was going to be a game of survival again
One she wished she never took part in again
Trying to run now won't do good
She was too weak, she needed to use her brain
That was a good thought
She came face-to-face with her present agony in human form
She felt the adrenaline rush, she needed it
"Let's play then", she said
She hoped it wouldn't cost her her life
She wasn't willing to die
The lights of the sitting room were turned off
Two candles were lit, placed on the centre table
Three weapons were set on the table
"Are you ready?", her twin asked
"Ready". The candles went off. What's next? You tell me.
