The judge's additional prompt: "a fight to the death"
“Oh hell no. I’m not peeing anywhere
on a road that has the word bloody in
the title. No way.”
“Oh Ava, relax! It’s just a name. What do you think could possibly
happen?”
“Ha. Famous last words from just about, like, every horror film ever.
What’s next, Shell? You gonna tell me to run UP the stairs?”
“Oh geez, you’re silly, you know that? I’m stopping. I have to pee too,
and if we don’t find food soon it’s going to be a fight to the death over that
last bag of M&M’s.”
“Yeah,” Ava grumbles, “Like I really want to buy food from some
toothless serial killer off of Bloody Basin Road.” A shiver runs down her
spine.
Michelle just rolls her eyes. “Look! A mini mart! See?”
***
Toothless Joe behind the counter is just as Ava had pictured him. His
crazy-eyed wife, however, she’s a bit unexpected. But their son? That little psychopath is the scariest one of
all.
One hand holds a melting ice cream bar, and the other holds a bloody knife.
He gets those crazy eyes from his mom.
“Effing super. It’s a family affair,” Ava whispers as the blade swings towards her.
