Week 116’s
theme is Our Sexy Halloween
I ended up opening it all the way, each inch the
window went higher the need to see grew stronger, and I couldn’t stop.
I was oddly nervous, as I
got closer, having to in order to get the window all the way up. The wind blew
against my skin, cool and crisp, with an underlying smell of garbage. It was
dark, inky black with a light glow just along the bottom line of the window. I
understood that came from lights on the street.
Licking my lips, I looked
over the edge, and saw something... I couldn’t be sure what it was, but the shine
had me guessing a shoe.
My head went next, my
fingers linked against the sharp wood. The air got dense as the weather and
smell pushed at me. I leaned over, needing to see, needing to know what had
landed on the ground.
The body looked fake, like
something from out of a crime show. I even got the flash of bright yellow
outline, though clearly, the line wasn’t there, but the fakeness lingered.
It seemed that out of
everything that happened on cop shows, there was definitely one thing they’d
gotten right, because the body on the ground looked like a rag doll all
crumpled up. With a dark pool around him that couldn’t have been anything other
than the blood and guts of the body above it.
“Do you like it?” a voice sounded behind me.

Running Scared
You always say you’d stand
and fight, but when you witness the death of your loved ones, are you curtain
your feet won’t take off and lead you on a merry-go-round?
Witnessing the murder of my
family had me on the run. I didn’t know where I was going, or why I was left
standing, but that didn’t stop my flight instinct from kicking in. I ran
screaming, but he found me, and now I’m trapped in a hotel with a madman. What
does he want from me and am I going to survive long enough to find out?
