Surprise!
“Who’s there?” Selena called into the distance.
In the distance, she could see a woman in a black dress, which flowed down her body as she took small but commanding steps. Her head was concealed with a white cloth, suitcase in her right hand. The distinctive female figure stood out against the forest, shrouded in thick, fresh fog and pine trees that looked like they had been over-trimmed.
But the woman didn’t answer.
“Hello?” Selena called again.
The woman stopped walking and just stood there for three seconds. Then she turned her head in Selena’s direction. Her entire head was concealed by the white draping cloth, not a single facial detail visible from afar.
Except her glowing red eyes.
Suddenly, the woman started running towards Selena like a zombie. Selena, horrified, took off running in fear. She ran as fast as her legs could take her without turning into de facto rubber.
She ran around trees and navigated through the fog back to where she had parked her RV. Her first instincts were to hide behind the RV, out of the sight of the mysterious woman who was chasing after her.
Selena found herself on the ground, on her knees. She peeked out from behind her RV. It looked at first glance as if she had lost the woman; all that Selena could see around her was the foggy forest of pine trees, not a single human being in sight.
Until she noticed a shadow over her head. She turned around to see the woman’s red eyes, underneath the white cloth, up close.
“Surprise!” the woman hissed in a zombie-like voice. Then she sunk her teeth into Selena’s shoulder.
Screams echoed through the forest. But it was too late for Selena, as her body began to convulse.
