DAY "4" OF THE HAUNTING

Text - Your Life Depends On It

"He's there, isn't he? You see him, don't you? No matter how fast I walk, he's still the same distance away. I'm practically breathless from running, and he appears calm. Nonchalant. I'm so scared?" I text my girlfriend.

"To blurry," she answers. "No way to identify him if you end up dead?"

Quit texting, idiot, and run! I tell myself, but take another look….

"He's gone. Oh God, where is he?" I text.

"Hey gorgeous, what's the hurry?" A deep voice asks.

"How?" my last words as I faint in his arms.

"Gotta love texting bitches and a foggy night."

Sadly I fear many people text when they should flee. And their phones are there at the death.

Great snippet. Enjoy this month since you love horror.

Great, scary, snippet, as usual.

Great end, literally. Twisted indeed. We do love our phones.
