Pulling into my driveway I see the most terrifying red eyes beaming out into the blue night. Six pairs to be exact, looming in my neighbors yard beneath elaborate red lampshades. A cool shiver runs down my spine as I notice the sun bleached skeletons posted up in the soil, and dark red blood streaming down their legs.

New decorations? I find myself hoping in my head. I try not to look away as my hands reach for my keys. A musky odor hovers into my yard as I carefully place my feet on the ground. A window on the second floor is lit in yellow and the silhouette of a man stains the curtains. My hands shake as I feel for the keyhole on my front door but a low laughter echoes out from the house next door. I slam my door shut laying my back against it and catching my breath. I’m safe, for now.
