Abyss

She is coming!   And she's faster than she seemed to be, pushing the door close right when you had just opened it. You turn around, already babbling some form of excuse, only to find her taller and thinner than expected, her long face tensed in a terrifying smile, her eyes are as white as her long sharp teeth, and her nose looks like a hook in the middle of it all.   Before she manages to hold your wrists as you think she pretended, you are running away. You don't care that you are leaving the door behind, you just want to escape this creature. You jump over furniture and up to the stairs as you blindly avoid the monster, which cuts your way sometimes and tries to catch your legs with her bony fingers in others.   It never comes as a surprise, because you are always looking behind to see what she's doing... And that's the reason why you don't notice the abyss in front of you.   As you fall, you wonder why does she have a well in the middle of her house.   When you wake up, you can see it wasn't a well. The house walls are made of rock, and you fell in a corner somehow formed by the position of the stairs.   You can this from the same place from which you fell, and you are not sure why the floor in that corner is red. For the way the paint makes a path into the closest room, you would think this is a Halloween decoration. But they don't have Halloween here so, why someone would paint something that looks like a trail of blood?   You hear the woman moving something relatively heavy in that room, and decide that you will try to escape again. But when you reach the front door and try to open it, you hand goes through it. What's the meaning of this?   She must be to blame for this... curse!   You storm in the room where she's hiding a body in the wall, and demand for explanations, but she can't see you.   As you recognize the body she's adding to her collection, a mystical light invites you to leave this plane. Oh, well. This town doesn't have anything more to offer, so you leave.    
The End.

Usually I join one of the writing events of the season, but this time I'll invite you to visit a town where Halloween is not a thing. Do you dare to explore it?
