One hundred words for Halloween
“Sweet Jesus, Vic, now we’re lost!”
“Shutup, Stacy.”
“Shortcut, my ass.”
“Shut-the-fuck-up.”
They glared at each other over the hood of the car.
“Where the hell is everyone?”
Even the gathering dusk couldn’t hide the griminess of the town.
Vic noticed her first. She stood across the street, as tattered and dirty as her surroundings, cradling a doll. “Hey! Little girl!”
He crossed to her and kneeled, “Can you tell us …?”
She smiled and leaned in, as if to whisper in Vic’s ear.
And Stacy’s screams echoed down the street as the blood appeared and the little girl fed.
