Where the Boys Are
“This is it.
She’s got a knife.
“Please,” I beg. “Put it down.”
I open my eyes to find her standing over me with a long, sharp kitchen knife in her hand. The moonlight glints off its blade, its sheen reflecting in her wide, wild eyes. Behind her, grinning hideously, sits a Halloween jack-o’-lantern, its flickering candle making horrible shadows dance along the wall.
“I told you that you’d learn,” Eva whispers. “Told you you’d find out what I’m really like.”
Her face is distorted, full of hate. I... clutch at my blanket, push back into the pillows.
“Eva, don’t! Please!”
She raises the knife over her head, prepared to strike. I scream. I hear the whoosh of the knife through the air. The last thing I feel is the blade pierce my flesh. There is pain. I scream again.
Then I wake up.
“Holy Jesus,” I gasp, sitting bolt upright. The cushions of the couch are damp. My heart pounds in my ears.
From across the room the jack-o’-lantern still grins, its light still flickering against the wall.MoreLess
