Scream

Tonight found me in Scene One of a slasher film I don't remember signing up for. I'm home alone with my mother and the power goes out. Everywhere. We venture into the night with flashlights and hear rustling.

"Hello?"

No response.

"Hello?"

Then someone turns off all the frogs and crickets.

We bolt back into the house, lock ourselves in our respective rooms and hope that this isn't the last thing we ever see (though, really, I could do worse):
