Emory L Griffin
It had been a rough day at work and Johnathon was looking forward to a cold beer and enjoying some television. His wife wasn't due home for a couple more hours and he was planning to enjoy his rare time alone. He made his way to the fridge, but before he opened it a bright red letter, taped to the door of the fridge, caught his eye. He believed it to be a note from his wife, so he was surprised to see writing he didn't recognize. Slightly nervous, he began to read.
"Hello Johnathon,
I just wanted to write you this little letter to explain how your afternoon will go. You may recall a gruesome murder that took place just down the road from this very house. That man also received one of my little letters. As I was leaving his house to clean myself up, for you see it was a rather messy business, your pretty little wife happened to catch my eye and it was then that I decided to keep an eye on you and your household and write you one of my special letters. If you are smart you'll run upstairs and get that little peashooter your wife keeps for "protection" when you are away. You do not however, strike me as a very bright person. I know you are probably curious how this letter will end and I am not one to keep my prey waiting, besides I believe I hear your key turning in the lock. So if you would be so kind as to open the pantry door to your left we can end this rather unfortunate business.
sincerely,
your killer
As Johnathon turned to run out the door to escape. He found himself being drawn, almost as if hypnotized, to the pantry door. He stretched his arm toward the pantry door and as soon as his hand closed on the handle the door sprang open. He barely glimpsed a heavily muscled arm with a knife in it's hand. He felt cold metal slice cleanly through his adams apple and as he lay trying to scream and producing nothing but a faint gurgling his killer leaned down and said, "It's nothing personal, just having a little fun. I may even come back so your wife can enjoy my company".

"Intense, intense! But a good one. Keep going." -- barfield.
"You must be pretty young because frankly, I see only an immature, copycat attempt at horror. Sorry, but I don't care to read silly stuff. Try something more subtle and creative. You can scare the shit out of someone without slashing their throat. " -- Richard.
