A/N: surprisingly, this wasn’t meant to be for Halloween, it just turned out that way! Sorry it’s a bit shorter than my other works!

“Ma’am, are you okay?”

Carey chuckled at the question. She was covered in blood and had a nasty gash against her left temple.

“What does it look like to you?” She asked the man, who had parked his car on the side of the rode to come to her aide. ‘A true gentle...

“Please, stay back. My god, what the-“

A GREETER, mid-’70s, nearly pukes at the sight of Carey’s wound. Carey blows right past the old man.

Customers look over in shock. A mother covers her Childs's eyes. Carey is headed straight to Customer Service.

JANET, 39, a clerk wearing a bright red top stands at her post.

“Next! Hi, welcome to Targ- oh my-“

“I need to talk to a manager.”

“Ma’am I t...

“Ma’am are you okay?” Carey chuckled at the question. She was covered in blood and had a nasty gash at her left temple. But “okay” was subjective at this point, after They had arrived. No one was certain from where They came, either another planet, another dimension, it didn’t matter. The outcome was the same. Fight or die.

“I’m fine,” Carey remarked. In truth, she fought off a few of Them...

Ma’am are you okay? Carey chuckled at the question. She was covered in blood and had a nasty gash at her left temple. Well my husband of 4 years has done it again, we got into a fit this morning over breakfast. I don’t know why he hates me so much I’ve always been there for him he looks at me in disgust he a good person he just needs some help to see. I thought I was helping him. I know he’s been ...

“Ma’am are you okay?” Carey laughed at the question. She was covered in blood and had a nasty gash at her left temple. Carey abruptly stopped laughing when he saw that Alyssa was dead. I had to stop myself from chuckling at this. I pretended to run in, even managed a (in my opinion) convincing scream when I looked at Alyssa’s body. “Oh, Carey. What happened?!” I cried at him, falling into his arms...

“Ma’am are you okay?” Carey chuckled at the question. She was covered in blood and had a nasty gash at her left temple.

She was the clumsiest waitress ever to walk on this planet. With at least four accidents a day no one knew how she was still working here. Some people say that she was homeless and had nothing. Other people say that her boss had a thing for her. Some people even thought that she...

“Ma’am are you okay?” Carey chuckled at the question. She was covered in blood and had a nasty gash at her temple.

“Do i... do i loook okay to u?!” she starts laughing hysterically. the waiter slowly grabs the phone from her apron, planning to dial 911. Carey saw her going to grab that phone and pounced. knocking the waiter to the ground causing her to bump her head on the ground. “that should te...

"I have clean clothes at home." Carey replied. "Yeah, but your head is bleeding. I need to call for help." said the young woman who just finished locking up the antique store on 109 street.

Carey, looking frail, and about 70 years old grabs the young woman by the wrist and stares at her for a few seconds before whispering "You call no one."

"You're hurting me!" says the young woman.

Carey just ...

Carey dipped her finger in the bloody wound and slid it down her cheek, leaving a scarlet line that arched like a smile across her face. She slowly licked her blood-covered finger, savoring the coppery taste.

She glanced up at the woman who knelt over her, forehead wrinkled in concern. Her eyes widened at Carey’s response and she stood, fear replacing the worry in her eyes.

“Oh, my dear, I have...

“Ma’am are you okay?” Carey chuckled at the question. She was covered in blood and had a nasty gash at her left temple. She then responded ,“I know we both see this blood gushing from my head. Yes. Im perfectly fine. Thank you.” The man was perplexed by her sarcasm. He seemed stuck for a few moments and didn’t know what to do for Carey but call for help. He finally pulled out his cracked up IPhone...
