EXAMPLE

I wait, in dark, wanting to laugh, but quiet. You will find me. You won’t want to, but you’re drawn to me; to the bait.  And when you find me… I will kill you. Before you realize your mistake, before you pull away, between heartbeats even as close as yours, I will come down with a speed and a force unlike anything you’ve ever known… and I will try to break you in half.  

… And when your cold, lifeless body has been disposed of… They’ll add a bit more cheese… and I’ll call to your friends... They’ll die too.

Write your entries for this challenge in the comments below...

remember to write your first name and Room number.
