Shining
When Magenta suggested a movie night on Halloween, Zach agreed easily, drawn by the possibility of being the brave, strong one when the horror movies proved too much for Magenta, and she required 'comforting'. He should have known better…
"Magenta, remind me again why you chose this frisking movie!" Zach whined from his position under a pile of blankets.
"Because it's my favourite, and you did agree to a horror movie marathon", Magenta replied, eyes glued to the screen as an axe-wielding psycho chased his wife through the halls of the Overlook Hotel.
Zach peeked out from the blankets, breathing a sigh of relief when the screen appeared Jack-free, only to scream in terror and hide again as the famed "HEEEEERE'S JOHNNY!" scene began. Magenta sighed, pushing Zach upright and wrapping her arms around his chest.
Zach pulled Magenta closer to snuggle against his chest. Maybe horror movies weren't so bad after all.
