Get a Grip

A thread poked its head out from the hem of my blouse. I gripped its neck and held tight. I would've preferred our first date be somewhere nice. A restaurant or something. But Mick wanted to go to a scary movie. You just didn't say no to the most popular guy in school. I was lucky he asked me out.

The screen flashed in font of me when the moon shone through the bedroom window. The young girl heard a sound and dove under the bed.

"No," I whispered. "No, he'll find you. Leave the house!"

A creak and then footsteps. The woman's breathing was too loud. Sheets lifting....

A scream. Mine or hers?

"No!"

Mick looked at me and snickered under his breath.

    I wonder why fear can sometimes be a turn-on
    to women, and men as well? Well-written.
