The room dark except for the TV

 

Which crackled with static & snow

 

The blue flowery wallpaper peeled

 

Showing walls yellow with age

 

The grey carpet stained brown in places

 

A sheet of dust covered the broken chair

 

The lamp toppled & broken in the middle of the room

 

A figure in the corner trembled & rocked back & forth

 

Back & forth

 

Waiting for you to get closer

 

Waiting for your curiosity to take over

 

Going closer, the figure mumbles incoherently.

 

Putting your hand on their shoulder

 

The figure turns around

 

Their face warped

 

Their smile twisted and dark

 

You try to back away

 

The figure grasps your arm

 

Tighter & tighter

 

Not letting go

 

Everything starts to go black

 

And you wonder why curiosity killed the cat?
