scare me (fear me, you look better when you cry)
There's really nothing Left.
The engine of our last hope being shoved through the front seat crushed Michael with it. And somewhere in these woods, Mathew is still burning. His charred corpse still behind my eyelids, roasted flesh caught in my lungs.
It's all I can Smell.
Ashley with the eggshell eyes and nerdy jokes now can't say much of anything. The box cutter guaranteed that the Funeral be closed casket.
As for mine,
I don't think they'll find the body.
There's nowhere to Run.
Kneecaps shattered, bone fragments sticking through, this time the hero doesn't make it. Feet crumple beneath them, barely looking as the killer approaches.
"Are you gonna kill me?" a sputtered whisper, choked through their lips. Bloody face streaked with tears because sometimes even heroes are afraid to Die.
The killer crouches down before them. Gloved fingers sweeping cross the bruised cheek, coiled snake in their smile. You could almost call it fondly, but love has nothing to do with This.
"Now where's the Fun in that?"

"I think I'm gonna keep you."
Happy (late) Halloween!!🎃 Tried writing something spooky for my favorite day. After watching some movie called Simon Says years ago, it seems like the only thing worse than having a killer who wants to kill you, is having one that doesn't.
