Morbid

Part 1

A scream ripped through the silence, tearing it to shreds. The scream stopped as quickly as it had started.

A young woman cowered in fear. There were several cuts on her arms and face, the blood trickling down. One of the cuts was fresh - she had just gained it a few milliseconds ago. It started to bleed, the fresh pain feeling like a stab wound. Her eyes were wide open in raw panic. The clothes she wore, although must have been beautiful when new, were now scuffed and torn, with marks standing out on the cloth from blood, grime and dust.

The object of her fear was advancing, eyeing her weak points, judging where to attack next. It grinned, causing the woman to whimper.

Another cut appeared on the woman's skin. This one was deeper than the rest, and the pain intensified. She started to scream again, but was cut off.

Her limp body fell to the floor, her dead eyes staring blankly. Blood seeped through her clothes from the hole in her body.

It didn't leave then. It wasn't satisfied with her life taken.

Her body was compressed by some force, the blood gushing out of the wound. That was the problem with dead people. They never bled. Such a pity. And yet, it needed them dead.

Her face was paler, made so by her death and the loss of blood. Eventually the flow of blood trickled down. It smirked, finally satisfied. Her limp form was flung away, landing in a crumpled heap a few meters away. It licked its lips at the anticipation. Slowly, it lowered its hands into the pool.

The trick was not to waste it. Blood was more precious than water. Like sweets, you had to take your time, to savour it, to feel it, to enjoy it. That was the trick.

It giggled, an un-human sound, coating itself in the red liquid, lapping it up like an over-sized puppy.

I know, I know, new story already. Don't worry, we'll manage. This came about by accident actually, when Cass got bored and decided to unleash her creativity on the word thingy on msn (?) I'm not sure either.

Anyway, this is what she came up with, and I quite like it, though I've decided it's a bit morbid. Voila, it was named. I'm skills like that.
