{83} Fearful
A Saturday Night in June 2068
“I still don’t want to-”
“Shhh.”
“Susan, I don’t like-”
“Shhh!”
“Tom, why can’t we-”
“SHHH!”
Vashti pouted at her friends’ shushing and finally just pulled the blanket over her head, only leaving her eyes partially uncovered. As scared as she was, she still wanted to see what would happen in the movie.
She watched with wide eyes as the music started getting creepier. “Don’t go into that basement,” she mumbled timidly, as if the character onscreen would hear.
When the door opened and the monster predictably jumped out, Vashti screamed, covered her head, and heard the TV blow out.
