You can fall in life, just stick the landing good.


The light went out. Christmas came to a halt, darkness engulfing the room in a mighty gulp. We stood by the Christmas tree as our fingertips grazed the hanging ornaments to have vision within the blindness. Vicious screams and howls immediately ripped through the darkness. Christmas lights illuminated the outside of the house once the power returned.

A human Christmas ornament hung from rope like a scarf, a wicked, bloodied smile grafted onto their deceased face. On their pale, exposed body, their red blood with green paint, Christmas themed, had a message.

It had said this:

YOU BETTER WATCH OUT

This was for a flash horror event at my school, but I couldn't submit it because I was one of the judges.

Cool story, but the title doesn't really go with the story. Otherwise, I love how this was short and to the point. Some people hate stories like this where there aren't a whole lot of details, but I love them! You pulled this off, and you didn't have any spelling or grammar mistakes! Great work!
