A Dark Romance

Last Day On Earth

A woman sat alone sipping from the chipped rim of her coffee cup. The coffee tastes bitter, acidic, and faintly foamy. She looks out the window ...its raining, a man walks up to her and explains that its closing time for the shop. She finishes her coffee, gets up and leaves. Rain pouring....water dripping down her back and down the ends of her hair. As she walks down the flooded streets, a flash of lightning reveals a silhouette of a man standing before her, a deep gut feeling led her to turn and run away. Foot steps thud behind her, she glances back and sees an ungodly sight, a distorted figure of what once resembled a man, he had gangly arms, and a white mask stitched into its face, the jaw was hanging on by a thread and was unhinged like a snake. it has sharp knifes for fingers, and a long wet tongue slinked from its mouth. She blushes and trips onto the wet road, her hands all scraped up. It lingered closer quickly and towered over her. She felt a strange attraction to this ungodly creature and a weird feeling of a known presence. She turned her face with tears in her eyes. "Please don't hurt me.." he stared down at her with a crooked smile and started to muster what sounded like a laugh, he lifted his hand showing off his sharp claws. She screamed "JACK!!!" and he slashed through her torso, spilling her organs out onto the street. The man/creature stopped at the sound of that name and stared down at her body....he knew her....it started to try and put the organs back and help as it cried out a terrible scream of sorrow and anxiety. Someone heard and ran towards the sounds. The creature dropped everything and scurried off into the dark. The witness called the cops. She was scooped up and taken to the hospital for extensive care.
